INTRODUCTION.

T N the following pages the editor has endeavoured to bring
together all the returns of sworn inquests, extents, feod-
aries, rentals, and accounts (compotus), relating to the county
of Lancaster during the reigns of King John, Henry 1 1 1., and
Edward I., wherein particulars of ownership, tenure, service,
extent, and value of lands have been recorded. The volume
contains, therefore, not only the series of Inquisitiones post
niortem which are calendared in the Calendarium Inquisi-
tionum Post Mortem (Vol. I.), printed in 1806, in pursuance
of the commission of King George III. published in 1800,
but also the Great Inquest of Service made in 12 12, the
Inquest of the Scutage of Gascony made in 1242-3, rentals
and accounts of lands belonging to the Crown, accounts of
the collection of scutages, escheators' and other accounts
from the Pipe Rolls and other sources, and a few inquests
as to lands which it was desired to alienate to religious
houses after the enactment of the statute of Mortmain,
which are calendared in the volume known as Calendarium
Rotulomm Chartarum et Inquisitionum ad quod damnum^
printed for the Record Commissioners in 1803. The
advantages of bringing together in one volume these various
returns for the purposes of reference and comparison is
obvious, nor does the inclusion, in a volume of inquests, of
so many records of different character appear to require any
apology. Full particulars of the various records included

Vin INTRODUCTION.

in this volume will be found under the Table of
Contents.

The great return with which the volume opens has long
been known to students of history through the work of the
Record Commissioners, who in 1807 published the volume
known as the Testa de Nevill sive Liber Feodorum in Curia
Scaccarii^ temp. Hen, III. et Edw, /., from an Edwardian
manuscript, in two volumes, carelessly compiled from various
returns, original or otherwise, and preserved in the King's
Remembrancer's Office of the Court of Exchequer {Mis-
cellaneous Books, Vols. V. and VI.). Owing to the date
given to these returns in the official work, many writers
have been led to attribute this great and important return
to widely divergent, and generally quite erroneous, dates.
Recently Mr. Hubert Hall, in the Red Book of the Exchequer
(Rolls Series), and Mr. Horace Round, in his Commune of
London (pages 261-277), have shown that the returns were
delivered at the Exchequer on the morrow of St. John the
Baptist (25th June), 1212, in consequence of a writ,*
awarded to the sheriffs of the various counties, bearing date
1st June, 14th year of the reign of King John (A.D. 1212).
The proof of the date of delivery is found on the dorse of
membrane 2 of the roll containing the returns for Cumber-
land and Lancaster^ in the following endorsement in a
hand contemporary with the contents of the roll : —

*' Hunc Rotulum recepit thesauntrius in crastino Sancti Johannis Baptiste

that for the honour of Lancaster " without the Lyme," viz.,
in counties Lincoln, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Norfolk
and Suffolk on membranes 9 and 10. Membranes i and 4
have been added to the roll accidentally, for both contain
entries of a similar character, as described upon the dorse
of membrane i in the following entry : —

" Rotalus de Custodiis Dominarum, puellaruixi, valetorum que sunt in
Custodia Domini Regis in Comitatibus Westmeriland', Cumberland', Lon-
castrie ; Et de esscaetis et serjantiis similiter ; Et de ecclesiis que sunt de
donacione Domini Regis et esse debent."

These entries belong to the period 1216-22, possibly
some few to the years 12 12-6. Membrane i contains two
entries relating to the Comitatus de Appelby, anciently
known as Westmarieland, in distinction to Kentdale, now
Kendal. In the eleventh century the former belonged to
Cumbria, the latter to Northumbria, together with Furness,
Cartmel, Lonsdale, and Amounderness.

Other evidence of the making of this great inquest has
been found by Mr. Round in the Annals of Waverley
where, under date 12 12, it is recorded : —

** The same King wrote to the sheriffs that hundred by hundred they should
cause men to declare upon oath what lands were anciently of the demesne of
their King's predecessors, and how they had passed from the King's hands,
and who now holds them, and for what services ; "

terms similar to those contained in the writ of ist June,
12 1 2, commanding the sheriffs to make the inquests. The
object of the inquest was undoubtedly to bring lands to the
King's hand if any flaw existed in the possessors' title, or,
in case of a doubtful title, to afford an opportunity for the
exaction of heavy fines. Mr. Round thus writes of the
aspect of this inquiry : —

*' Historically speaking, this inquest may be viewed from two standpoints.
Politically, it illustrates John's exactions by its effort to revive rights of the

To review these various headings in detail would absorb
too much space, but a few observations will not be out of
place. Gill)ert fitz Reinfred (son of Roger fitz Reinfred,
justiciar and sheriff between 1169-1189) obtained in
marriage from Henry H., l)etween 11 84 and 1189, Hele-
wise, daughter and heiress of William de Lancaster H.,
Baron of Kendal, together with her estates.* The details
of his Lancashire fee given in this inquest are very incom-
plete, all mention of his extensive demesne in Ulverston,
Warton and Wyresdale being omitted. The origin of this
fee is very obscure. In 1 127, Ulverston formed part of
the demesne of Stephen, Count of Boulogne and Mortain,
who gave it to Furness Abbey, of whom it was sub-
sequently held by William de Lancaster.f This fact
seems to point to a tenure of the vill by William de
Lancaster or his father Gilbert de Furness, before the
grant of 1 127. William fitz Gilbert was certainly enfeoffed
of Warton and Wyresdale by Stephen, Count of Boulogne
and Mortain, before the death of Henry I. (1135), when
the service due from this fee was definitely fixed at the
service of one knight. J

Xll INTRODUCTION.

The Boteler of Warrington's fee within the honour of
Lancaster consisted of 8 knights' fees, of which two in
Warrington and one in Layton in Amounderness lay
within the county. This fee had passed to the Boteler
family by the marriage of Beatrix, daughter and heir of
Matthew de Vilers to Richard le Boteler, who is believed
to have been younger brother of Robert le Boteler of
Engelby and Durandesthorpe, co. Derby, hereditary
butler to the earls of Chester. Very full particulars of the
infeudations made by the Vilers family are given in this
inquest, most of them by Pain de Vilers, father of
Matthew, who is described as the first to be enfeoffed
of this fee. The family of Vilers held lands under the
Botelers of Warrington, in cos. Lancaster, Nottingham, and
at Treyford, or Tweyford, in co. Sussex, for many genera-
tions. It would be interesting to know how the manor of
Treyford, a member of the Sussex fief of Roger de Mont-
gomery, held at the date of Domesday, and after forfeiture
by Count Roger, by Robert fitz Theobald, came to the
family of Vilers, in whose descendants it continued at least
as late as the time of Elizabeth as a member of the fee of
Warrington. The relationship between Robert de Engleby
{Pincema) and Richard le Boteler, husband of Beatrix de
Vilers, has not been absolutely verified, but they are
assumed to have been brothers. Engleby and Durandes-
thorpe were members of the Earl of Chester's Derbyshire
fief, and had doubtless been given by the Earl of Chester to
one of his early " butlers." After the death of Robert de
Engelby, his manor of Engelby appears to have passed to
the Willoughby family, but Durandesthorp (now Donnis-
thorpe) was given by Richard le Boteler of Warrington,
between 1149-1160, to the priory of Calk, Beatrix his wife,
Ranulf and Hugh, his brothers, attesting the grant* Ten

held by Robert de Engelby {Pmcerna) from the i to 4
Henry II.,* were held in the i Richard I. f by Ralph son
of Robert le Boteler, a nephew apparently of Robert de
Engelby.

It is observable that the money value of the service due
from different estates held by thanage varies largely in
amount. The lord of Clifton in Amounderness paid only 40J.
for ten ploughlands ; Peter de Stalmin paid \os, for three
ploughlands ; Adam de Garston paid 20J. for four plough-
lands. But some tenants by thanage in Salford and
Lonsdale Hundreds paid at a much higher rate. It will
be remembered that the service mentioned in Domesday
was two ores of pennies, />., 32^/., for each ploughland.
Probably the increase of service noticeable in 12 12, repre-
sented the commutation of pre-conquest customs and
boon-works, and in some cases an approximation to the
annual value at the time that lands which had perhaps
long lain derelict, or had been farmed by the sheriff, were
granted to new tenants to hold by thanage tenure, a
practice not unknown even so late as the reign of King
John. The large number of estates in the county held by
the service of grand and petty serjeanty is noticeable,
pointing to a sparse population, exiguity of revenue, and
perhaps an abundance of derelict lands at the time when
the serjeanties were created. By far the most important
serjeanty was that of chief forester of Lancaster, an heredi-
tary office held in the male line by the family of Gernet.
How completely the county was given over to the pre-
servation of game for hunting is shown by the area of forest
land, and by the large number of townships which lay
within the metes of the forest, and were subject to the
<:oercion of the forest laws. Details of these have never
hitherto been printed and are therefore set forth here.

INTRODUCTION. XV

The details of the Barony of Penwortham disclose
evidence of a composite fee made up of several scattered
estates within the county, also of one fee in Leicestershire,
and another in Suffolk. For simplicity's sake the details
of the" Lancashire portion of this barony are tabulated on
pages 3S-6. The identity of the " Warine " of the Domes-
day Survey of South Lancashire with Warine Bussel I.
is suggested on page 34. At the date of the inquest
this barony, and the fees of Clitheroe and Widnes, were
in the King's hand after the death of Roger de Lacy,
Constable of Chester, whose death occurred October ist,
1211.

An attempt has been made to trace the various mem-
bers of the Honour of Lancaster in 121 2 to their tenants
in chief and under-tenants in the Domesday Survey. The
result proves that the greater part of the conquest fief
of Roger the Poitevin was incorporated in the Honour
of Lancaster, which Henry L bestowed upon his nephew,
Stephen of Blois, together with portions of the royal
demesne {Terra Regis), and of the escheated fiefs ot
Roger de Busli, Durand Malet, Nigel de Stafford and
others. Unfortunately little or no material exists to enable
us to ascertain what feudal dispositions had been made by
Count Roger to meet his quota of military service, or to
distinguish the estates within the county held under him
by military tenants, or to identify the tenants themselves.
It is, however, certain that the families of Lacy, Grclley,
Montbegon, Vilers, Bussel, Molyneux, and the Constable
of Chester, held fees within the county and — except Lacy
and the two last-named — elsewhere within the fief of
Count Roger. Evidence of this will be found within the
following pages. Of the fees within the county as they
existed in 121 2, there is evidence in Domesday that those
of Clitheroe and Widnes existed in 1086, possibly also the
manor of Manchester which Nigel held and the Molyneux

XVI INTRODUCTION.

fee of Sefton.* Between 1086 and 1 102 there is evidence
that Lacy acquired the fee of Clitheroe, together
with the adjacent liberty of Bowland in Yorkshire,
Montbegon the fee of Hornby, Bussel a fee in Amounder-
ness, including Preston, possibly some part lying also in
Leyland Hundred. The creation of the baronies of
Manchester, Warrington and Penwortham, as they existed
in 1 2 12, belongs to the period 1102-1118, perhaps even
later, as also do the Montbegon fee of Tottington, Swain
fitz Ailric's fees of Croston and Kaskenmoor, and the
Marsey fee in Bolton-le-Moors, Radcliffe, Urmston, &c.
It seems most probable, however, that when Henry I.
incorporated the honour and gave it to Stephen the quota
of service from the honour was fixed at about 75 knights'
fees. In 1165 scutage was levied upon 79I fees, in 1187
6S fees and Tj^th only could be found, in 1 194 the number
was 72^ fees, in which year an aid of 2s. was also levied
from all the ploughlands within the honour, amounting in
number to 701 i.f The last scutage of King John's reign,
viz., that of Poitou, was levied in 12 14 upon 78 J, Jth and
xVth fees. I

The advance of the county during the century succeed-
ing the conquest was very slow, whether the evidence of land
cultivation and reclamation, revenue, increase of liberties,
or religious growth be considered. In 1066 Lancashire
south of the Ribble was worth 145/. 2s. 2d., this revenue
arising from ploughlands of demesne, cultivated enclosures,
hays within the forest, profits of woodlands, and the
customary service of thanes varying in amount from 2s, 8</.,
the ploughland in the Domesday hundred of West Derby

* As regards the identity of the fee of Sefton in the Domesday Survey
l)etween Ribble and Mersey, which ** Roger " held in 1086, perhaps a more
probable identification of the Domesday tenant, than that given on p. 12, might
be Roger de Montb^on, the " Rogerius homo Rogeri Pictavensis " of the
Lincolnshire Survey.

to 30J. for 15 berewicks in Newton hundred, where the 15
drengs probably paid a further sum for pasturage within
the very extensive woodlands belonging to that manor.
Unfortunately, for the purpose of comparison, it is impos-
sible to ascertain the extent of the demesne at different
periods, or to estimate the extent of the demesne held by
knights in 1086, or how far it was composed of grants from
the royal demesne or of escheated thanelands. In the
hundred of West Derby, 24 car. of demesne in 1066 were
worth 18/. ys, 4//., the same area about equally distributed
in 1086 between Count Roger (value 8/.) and his knights
(value 8/. I2J.) was worth 16/. \2s. During the period
1 164 to 1200 the demesne, amounting to nearly 19 can,
was worth 18/. 13J., and after 1200, owing to the
increment of rent exacted by King John, it was worth
26/. 14J. lod. These figures point to a fall in value
between 1066 and 1086, a trifling increase between 1086
and 1164, and an increase of 61 % between 1086 and
1201.

Of the cultivation of wastes and woodlands during this
period little or no evidence exists to estimate the progress
made. In 1185 and 1186 the county proffered 50 marks
for respite from the periodical eyre of the forest justices.
In 1 1 87 the men of "Lancaster" {i.e,, of Amoundemess
and Lonsdale) dwelling within the forest proffered 100
marks for respite from the forest reguard until the next.
Between 1189 and 1194 the knights and thanes of the
honour of Lancaster proffered 500/. to Count John of
Mortain, for a grant to them and their free tenants dwell-
ing within the forest of liberty to cultivate, sell, or give
their underwoods, and to depasture therein at their will,
and to deal with the same according to their own desires as
possessors in fee.* In 1200, they gave to the King after
his accession to the throne 200/. and ten chargers for

confirmation of this charter* This has the appearance of
expansion, both in regard to population and wealth, and
represented a great increase of liberty in many townships
nigh the royal forests. Before 11S4 the only religious
houses in the whole of Lancashire were Furness Abbey and
the Hospital of Conishead, both in Furness, the priory of
Lancaster, and possibly the priory of Hornby in Lonsdale,
the leper hospital of St. Mary Magdalene of Preston, the
priory of Penwortham in Ley! and Hundred, and the cell of
Kersall in Salford Hundred. Probably no houses of
religion existed in the Hundreds of West Derby and
Blackburn, although it is possible that the hospital, after-
wards held by the Austin friars at Warrington, and the
leper hospital at Edisforth, near Clitheroe, may have been
founded earlier than the year named. The site of the
latter, however, was in Yorkshire. Again, the very small
number of parish churches, and the very large area of the
parochial divisions, points to the existence of but few free
men of substance in the county prior to the 13th century.
It is true that a very considerable number of parochial
chapels existed in the 12th century, but it is doubtful
if in many instances there were any endowed clergy,
and where such existed their endowments were of very
slender value. So far as we can tell the condition of the
not inconsiderable population of the county during the
first century after the conquest was distinguished by a hard
struggle for the barest necessities of life, lack of plough
teams and farm stock, and various feudal restrictions, pre-
cluding anything approaching a surplusage of resources.

It is not within the scope of an introduction to add
more respecting this magnificent inquest, replete with
subjects of historical interest to the county historian ; the

The entries vvhicli relate to the honour of Lancaster

detracting from the utility and value of this volume. The
editor does not, however, pretend to have exhausted all the

nor to have traced all the tenements originally included
within the honour, and very possibly forming an integral
part of it during the period covered by this volume. To
have done so would have involved a laborious examination
of the Testa de Neviii line by line, of the Hundred Roiis
and Pipe Rolls for the counties within which portions of
the honour lay, and of the Inquests ^x/w^r/^;;/ of all those
holding lands within the honour. Since the following

In 12S4-6, Nicholas de Segrave held Cults of ihe King for one fee and
for a beraeJei (hound) wiih a collar {Ftadai Aids^ Rolls Series, I, 248). In
Domesday G^tunc was of ihe fee of Roger de Busli ; ihere were 4 Ixivalcs lo

XX INTRODUCTION.

the inheritance of his wife of Edmund the King's brother by the service of one
fee, and the same Edmund of the King in chief {Fetulal Aids, I, p. 247).

The heirs of Roger le Sauwage hold the manor of Steynesby of the King
by the service of one sor hawk at the Exchequer {/did, p. 248).

Geoffrey de Greseley holds the manor of Drakelowe for one fee of Edmund,
the King's brother, and the same Edmund of the King (/did. p. 248).

The notes of wardships and marriages, to which the
date 1216-22 has been given, have been mentioned already
as occupying membrane 4. Others, to which the date
1222-6 has been ascribed, are found in the Tes/a de Nevill,
PP- 371-2. Where corresponding entries arc found
under both periods, they have been given in parallel
columns.

A very full and interesting account of the rent due to
the King, charged in the sherifTs account, is set forth in the
Pipe Rolls of the loth and nth years of Henry III., and
occupies pages 135 to 141. A few of the entries, such as
those relating to Bickerstath and Barton, belong to a much
earlier account, certainly earlier than the last year of
Henry H. The assized rent of the demesne includes the
increment, which was first charged by King John in 1200,
upon the rent which had been set upon the demesnes
before the year 1 164.

The return made in 1236, of fees chargeable to the
aid to marry the King's sister to the Roman Emperor,
is specially interesting in giving us information as to
what fees were of ancient feoffment — i.e,y created
before the death of Henry I. The evidence there con-
tained confirms the supposition previously made that the
quota of knight's service to be rendered for the honour
was determined at the time that Henry I. incorpor-
ated the honour and bestowed it upon his nephew
Stephen.

The Inquest of the Scutage of Gascony is a highly
important record. It was ordered by writ, dated December

INTRODUCTION. XXI

9th, 1242, and was probably returned early in 1243. It
reveals the whole of the infeudations made by the tenants
in chief within the county, and informs us as to the amount
of service and the name of the tenant of every manor held
by knight's service.

The earliest of the series of Lancashire inquests post
mortem is that of Henry de Croft, taken in or before
October, 1243 (page 158). The extent of the lands of
John de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, made in the year 1242, is
particularly interesting as recording the amount of rent
issuing from the fee of Clitheroe at that time, and affording
the opportunity of a comparison with later extents made in
1258, 1296,* 1305* 131 1, 1323, and 1342. The aid levied in
1245 provides us with a feodary of the honour in the
middle of Henry III/s reign. Documents set forth on
page 177 reveal the date of the arrentation of serjeanties
by Robert de Passelewe — an oft-recurring heading in the
Testa de Nevill—Ks 31 Henry HL, 1247, a date which we
do not remember to have seen elsewhere recorded. A
compotus roll belonging to the years 1256-7 gives informa-
tion as to the produce and value of the same, arising from
the comital demesne in south Lancashire, and shows
that Edward, the King's eldest son, had the ward-
ship of the lands of William de Ferrers, earl of Derby,
between Ribble and Mersey, from the date of the earl's
death in 1254 to the majority of his son, Robert de Ferrers,
in 1 262. The respective inquests taken after the deaths of
Edmund de Lacy in 1258 (p. 213), Robert Grelley in 1282
(p. 244), William de Ferrers in 1288 (p. 268), and Edmund,
earl of Lancaster, in 1296 (p. 284), are especially interesting
and replete with information as to the names of the tenants
of manors held of these magnates. A valuable feodary of
the county made in 1302, from the original return, is given
on pp. 312-319. By an oversight an important omission

imbrane ROLL OF THE INQUEST OF COUNTY LANCASTER.*

This is the Inquest made by the oath of trusty knights
concerning tenements [which have been] given and alien-
ated within the Lyme in the county of Lancaster, namely
by Roger Gerneth of Burg, Robert de Lancastre, Adam de
Midilton, Richard de Burgh, Walter son of Osbert, Walter
son of Swain, William de Wynewyc, Richard son of Swain,
Richard son of Robert, William Blundel, Robert de
Ainoluesdale, Richard de Orhul, Richard de Perpont,
Alan de Rixton, William de Radecliue, Alexander de
Pilkinton, Henry de Traflford ; who say that —

[Fief of the Baron of Kendal.]
Gilbert son of Reinfred holds the fee of one knight in
the county of Lancaster.

And William de Lancastre gave in his time in marriage
V. carucates of land in the two Ecclistons and in Lairbrec,
♦ Exchequer, /C.K,, Knight^ Fees, Bundle I, No. 9.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. 3

which Richard de Mulinas and William Blundel and Ralph
de Eccliston and Walter son of Swain and Geoffrey hold.

William de Lancaster II., son of William de Lancaster I. (who is supposed
to have been the first baron of Kendal), living 1170-1184, gave the three town-
ships of Great Eccleston, Little Eccleston, and Larbrick, in Amoundemess, to
Richard de Morvill in marriage with his daughter, Avice de Lancastre. Their
son William de Morvill died without issue, and in 1 21 2 Richard Mol3nieux of
Sefton and William Blundel 1 of Ince Blundell each held a moiety of Larbrick
(12 bovates) under Gilbert fitz Reinfred, 3rd baron of Kendal, sine medio.
Two-thirds of Great Eccleston were held by Walter son of Swain, lord of
Carleton, and the remaining third by Ralph de Eccleston. The whole town-
ship was two carucates. Little Eccleston, presumably one and a half carucate,
was held by Geoffrey Arbalaster, lord of Hackensall and Preesall.

They also say that the same William [de Lancastre II.]
gave to Warin de Lancastre two bovates of land in Forton
for his homage and service, in knight's service, which
Henry de Le[a] holds.

Warine de Lancaster was the royal falconer in this county and held a large
estate in Ravensmeols, Ainsdale, Liverpool, Uplitherland, and French Lea,
which had been given to him by Henry II. (Charter Roll, t. John, p. 26).
Henry de Lea, who is also sometimes called Henry de Lancastre, was his son
and heir. In the Domesday Survey, Fortun was rated at one carucate.

The same William [de Lancastre II.] gave to Bernard

son of Eilsi, two carucates of land in Halecath and in

Caterhale, which Richard son of Swain, and Beatrice,

daughter of Robert, and Michael de Athelakeston hold in

knight's service.

Bernard son of Ailsi was lord of Goosnargh and Catterall. Robert his son
and heir dying in 1206, without male issue, his estates were parted between
his three daughters, viz. : Ysolt, wife of Richard de Catterall ; Avice, wife of
Michael de Athelaxton (Ellaston, co. Staff.), and afterwards of Oliver, son of
Nigel de Longford, of co. Derby; and Beatrice, married after 1 212 to Hugh
de Mitton, lord of Great Mitton, she being his third wife (Rot. de Oblatis,
t. John, p. 353). Halecath is a hamlet of Catterall. ^

The same William [de Lancastre II.] gave to Hervey
the Falconer two bovates [of land] in Wynomerislega
[Winmarleigh], which Hugh de Wynermerisle holds in
knight's service.

Hugh de Winmarleigh was son and heir of Hervey, the Falconer (Cocker-
sand Chartulary^ p. 290).

The same William [de Lancastre II.] gave to Grimbald
de Ellale, two bovates of land in Crumbles.

4 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Thii eitate, which comprised the hamlet of Crumbles, or Crimbles, in the
township and parish of Cockerham, was held in 1212 by Herbert de Ellale,
mn and heir of Grimbald {Lane, Pipe Rolls, p. 219).

William, son of Gilbert [de Lancastre], the first, gave
two carucates of land in Kokerham to the canons of
Laiccstrc in alms, whereby his heirs hold [so much] the
less of the king in chief.

William de Lancastre I., with the consent of William, his son and heir, and
of Ciundrcda, his wife, daughter of the Countess, gave his manor of Cockerham
with the church of the said vill, and the chapel of Ellel, and Crimbles on
U»th sides of the Cocker, to the church of St. Mary de Pr^, of Leicester. This
was before 1 1 56, in which year Henry II. confirmed the gift {Lane, Pipe Rolls,
I'. 391).

The aforesaid William [de Lancastre I.] gave to Grim-
bald de Ellale two carucates of land in Ellale by knight's
.service, where xxiiij. carucates make the fee of one knight.

The extent of the fief of the barons of Kendal in this county is shown on
the map attached to the Lancashire Pipe Rolls, The townships and their
rateable area are also tabulated in an article on the Domesday Survey of North
Lancashire, in the Transactions of the Lane, and Ches, Antiq. Society, N.S.,
vol. xviii.. Tables 11. and III. The total of the teamlands or carucates
(;iven in Table HI. requires correction by the addition of one car. to Ellel,
half a car. to Little Eccleston, one car. in Scotford, and the addition of
I^irbrick with \\ car. The total of this fief will then be no less than 41}
carucates. It will be observed that the service due to the baron of Kendal
from his Lancashire feudatories in 1212, does not agree with the return
made in 1242-3.

The same William [de Lancastre I.] gave to Hugh
Norman two carucates of land in Scotford by the same
service.

Hugh Norman had issue, a daughter Amice, who was married to Ailward
de Scotford. Roger, son of Ailward, was their son and heir. He was a bene-
factor both to the Priory of St. Mary of Lancaster and to Cockersand Abbey.
Ailward and Avice enfeoffed amongst others, Walter de Braus and Hugh de
Letewell of lands here and in the hamlet of Burrow(?) in Scotford.

The same William [de Lancastre I.] gave to Ralph de
Thoroudesholm half a carucate of land in Lancastre, and
he renders iiij. shillings.

Ralph de Torrisholme (Thorold's holme) was father or grandfather of John
de Torrisholme who held the serjeanty of Torrisholme during King John's
reign. Nicholas, son and heir of John, had issue an only daughter Matilda,
who married William de Paries {Lane, Pinal Concords^ I, p. 58).

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. 5

The same William [de Lancastre I.] gave to Robert the
Falconer two bovates of land in Carneford by knight's
service.

This was probably a fourth part of the vill. About the year 1235 Bernard
de Kerneford held half the vill. In or before 1246, his daughter Godith
released half a carucate of land here to William de Lancastre III. (Assiu Roll^
No. 404, m, 13 (f).

In Michaelmas term, 1261, William de Byvill(?) and Alice his wife were
suing Walter de Lindesay in the King's Court that he should keep the agree-
ment which he had made with them concerning a messuage, two bovates and
50 acres of land in Kerneford {Curia Regis Rolls j No. 171, w. 44 d). After-
wards the Washington family held half the vill by knight's service.

The same William [de Lancaster I.] gave to Gilbert de
Eston half a carucate of land in Eston [to hold] by render-
ing yearly one mark.

This is Ashton, near Lancaster. Gilbert de Ashton held this estate temp,
Henry II. and Richard. He had issue a son William, who was a benefector
to Cockersand Abbey, as also was William, son of the said William de
Ashton.

[FiEF OF THE Lord of Warrington.]

They also say that William le Boteler holds the fees of
eight knights in chief of the King.

These fees were : —

The reputed barony of Warrington with its members, . 2 fees

Lay ton in Amoundemess, I fee

Cropwell-Butler, Owthorpe and Calverton, in co. Notts. ;

and Newbold in co. Derby, 2 fees

Croxton, Ingham, Elsham, Boultham and Fillingham, in

CO. Lincoln, ... 3 fees

Under Nottinghamshire in Domesday, Count Roger the Poitevin had 2
canicates, 6 bovates in Crophelle, and 3 bov. in Calvreton (f. 290-2). The
son of Azor, the thane, had one bovate in Chineltone (Ibid. f. 293). In 1242-3,
W^alter de Stanton and Alina, formerly the wife of Emery le Boteler, held one
knight's fee in Crophul [and Kinelton] {Testa, p. 398), and John de Vilers held
the 4th part of a knight's fee in Kalverton, of ancient feoffment {Jbid, p. 11).

In Domesday, Roger de Busli had half a carucate of land in Ovetorp, and
William, the man of [the same] Roger had one carucate there (f. 286 b).
In Neubold the king had 3 carucates {Ibid. f. 281 b-2). In 1235, Pain de
Vilers had one fee in Neubot [and Outorp] {Testa, p. 20). In 1242-3,
John de Vilers held one knight's fee in Neubold and Outorp, of ancient
feoffment {Ibid, p. 11).

6 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

And whilst William [le Boteler] was in ward of Ralph
fitz Bernard, [Sheriff of Lancaster, from Easter 1174 to
Easter 1185] by the King, the same Ralph gave the vill
of Croppul with the appurtenances to a certain young man
[in marriage] with the sister of the same William, which
Walter de Stanton holds.

In the 23 Henry II., 1177, the sheriff of Notts, and Derby gave account to
the Treasury of 2/. lu. &/. of the farm of Crophull for the half-year, which
had been Richard le Boteler's. This reference from the Pipe Rolls, taken in
conjunction with this entry, approximately fixes the date of Richard le Boteler's
death. Aubrey, his daughter, is believed to have been married by the sheriff
to Thurstan de Vilers. Subsequently she became the wife of Walter de Stanton,
to whom she bore another Walter, who was living in 121 6 {cf. Annals of
Warrington^ p. 37 ; Thoroton's Notts., edit. Throsby, I, p. 192).

The same [jurors] say that Pain {Paganus) de Vilers,
the first enfeoffed, gave to Alan de Vilers, his son, five
carucates of land in knighfs service.

According to a chartulary of Thurgarton Priory examined by Roger
Dodsworth (Vol. cxxvi, f. 128), these five carucates represented Crophill, now
Cropwell-Butler.

The same Pain gave to the Hospital of Jerusalem one
carucate of land in Bekanoshow, in alms.

Becconsall, a joint township with Ilesketh, until 182 1 dependent on
the parish of Croston. At the dissolution of the monasteries, the township
or manor was held of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in moieties by
Richard Banastre of Bank in Bretherton, and Henry Becconsall of Becconsall,
by the yearly free rent of los.

The same Pain gave to William de Vilers, his son, the
land of Newbolt, by knight's service, which William, son
of Pain the younger, holds by the same service.

The Vilers' part of the manor of Newbold, co. Notts., was included in the
** land of the King," at the date of the Domesday Survey. Subsequently it
was incorporated in the Honour of Lancaster, and became parcel of the fee of
Pain de Vilers. John de Vilers, son and heir of William de Vilers of this
inquest, held one knight's fee in Newbold and Owthorp in 1242-3.

The same Pain gave to Alan, his son, the land of
Trafford in knight's service, which Robert de Vilers
holds by the same service.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 121 2. 7

The Trafford here referred to has never been identified. It is mentioned in
rentals of the Butlers of Warrington and in a final concord, as late as 23
Elizabeth, 1581, usually in the form of Treford (PalaL of Lane, ^ Feet of Fines ^
Bundle 43, m, 16).

The same Pain gave to Thomas de Vilers the moiety
of Vuethorp, and the land of Hole, and the land of Caluer-
ton in knight's service, whereof Robert de Vilers holds Hole
and the moiety of Caluerton, except {prater) one carucate
which William de Vilers holds. The same Robert de Vilers
also holds the land of Caluerton by the same service.

At the date of Domesday, Roger de Busli held one moiety of Owthorpe,
CO. Notts. — William being his tenant — and Durand Malet the other. The
latter estate appears to have passed, similarly to Newbold, to Pain de Vilers.

Great or Much Hoole, and Little Hoole, until 164 1 dependent on the
parish of Croston, co. Lane, were granted in frankalmoign by the Vilers
family. Much Hoole to Merivale Abbey, and Little Hoole to the Hospital of
St John of Jerusalem. At the dissolution, the latter was held by Nicholas
Boteler of Rawcliffe of the Hospital by the free rent of 6d. yearly.

Roger of Poitou and Aluric the thane had one moiety of Calverton, co.
Notts., between them at the date of Domesday. These fees probably passed to
Pain de Vilers upon the incorporation of the Honour of Lancaster. Robert de
Vilers held the moiety of Calverton at the date of this inquest.

The same Pain gave Ines, that is three carucatcs of land,
to Roger de Stainesbi, and besides this four bovates of land
in Barton, which William Blundel holds of William le
Boteler by knight's service, where ten carucates make the
fee of one knight.

From the fact that at this time William Blundel held Ince-Blundell
directly of the lord of Warrington, we may surmise that the manor had
escheated to the chief lord, probably after the death of Roger de Stainesby. It
is worthy of note that the manor of Stainsby, co. Derby, which was parcel of the
Domesday fief of Roger of Poitou, and was afterwards annexed to the Honour
of Lancaster, had escheated to the lord of the Honour before 1 164, and was re-
granted by Henry H., in or before 1 170, to William fitz Walkeline, as a
serjeanty {Lancashire Pipe Rolls, p. 21). Afterwards it descended in the
family of Savage.

The same Pain gave to Robert de Mulinas one carucate
of land in Thorinton [to hold] by knight's service, where
ten carucates make the fee of one knight, which Robert
son of Richard now holds by the aforesaid service.

8 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Thornton, in the parish of Sefton, was rated in Domesday Survey at half
a hide or three carucates. Pain de Vilers was enfeoffed of two-thirds of the
manor. Robert de Molyneux — to whom Pain gave one carucate here — ^was pro-
bably son and heir of Roger (?) de Molyneux, the first to be enfeoffed of the
lordship of Sefton. From Robert this carucate probably descended to another
Robert, as son and heir, then to Richard, his son and heir, and so to Robert,
younger son of this Richard.

The same Pain gave to Eawin one carucate in Thorinton
by the said service, which Gilbert, his son, now holds of
William le Boteler.

Gilbert, son of Eawin de Thornton, was father of Robert de Thornton, who
gave a messuage with a toft and a croft here to the canons of Cockersand
{Chartulary, p. 554).

The same Pain gave six bovates of land in Lidiate to
William Gerneth by knight's service, where ten carucates
of land make the fee of one knight, which Benedict, son of
Simon, and Alan, his brother, hold of William le Boteler.

Benedict was the ancestor of the Lydiates of Lydiate, which family
terminated in the main line with Katherine Lydiate, who married Robert
Blackburn {Lydiate Hall and its Associations^ p. 22). His brother Alan, who
was younger son of Simon de Lydiate, took the name ** de Ilalsall " from his
manor, and was the ancestor of the long line of Halsall of Halsall.

The same Pain gave one carucate in Windhul, and one
carucate in Halsale to Vivian Gerneth in marriage with
Emma, his daughter, [to hold] by knight's service, where
ten carucates make the fee of one knight. And now Alan,
son of Alan, holds the land of Wyndhul of Robert de
Vilers, and Alan, son of Simon, the land of Halsale of the
aforesaid Robert by the aforesaid service.

The early descent of Gemet will be noticed hereafter. Vivian Gernet, who
married Emma, daughter of Pain de Vilers, was probably father of Roger Gernet,
chief forester of Lancaster from circa 1 140 until after 1170. Adam Gemet,
probably brother and heir of Roger, was the father of Benedict Gemet, who
died seised of the serjeanty of the forest in 1206. From him the subsequent
descent is clear. William Gemet, to whom Pain de Vilers gave Lydiate,
was a younger son of Vivian Gernet, and probably had issue three daughters,
(i) Mabel {cf, Lydiate Hall, ^SrT., p. xiii.), (2) Alice, and (3) Pelronilla
{ThorototCs Notts.^ I, p. 193). It appears not improbable that one of these
three co-heirs brought Lydiate in marriage to Simon de Lydiate, father of
Benedict de Lydiate and Alan de Halsall.

Alan de Pemberton held the manors of Windhull, or Windle, and Pemberton.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. 9

Alan, his son, succeeded his father and fined for his relief in 1201 {Ro/, de
oblatisj p. 123). He held Windle in demesne and so adopted the name ** de
Windhull." Of Pemberton more in due course.

Alan, son of Simon de Lydiate, appears to have married Alice, the heiress
of Halsall. It is uncertain whether she was a Villers or a Gernet, but it is
worthy of note that her husband, styling himself Alan de Lydiate, gave certain
lands in Halsall in alms to the canons of Cockersand {Chartulary^ p. 637),
and to the Hospitallers of Jerusalem {Historic Soc. of L. and C, O.S. xxxii.,
p. 183), with the assent of Alice, his wife.

Reginald held four carucates of land of Pain de Vilers
by knight's service. And now Hugh son of Gilbert holds
those carucates of William le Boteler for four marks [yearly],
and does knight's service where ten carucates make the fee
of one knight.

Reynold's manor was Culcheth, which included the mesne manors of
Culcheth, Holcroft, Pesefurlong, and Risley. There is no mention here of
any feoffment made by Pain de Vilers. The absence of this points to a
tenure older than the creation of the Honour of Lancaster, and the service
seems to suggest thanage tenure with the later knight's service superimposed,
for it seems hardly probable that the money service was the later imposition.
Hugh, son of Gilbert de Culcheth, was probably the father of Gilbert de
Culcheth, who held this fee in 1242-3, and was the common ancestor of the
families of Risley, Culcheth, and Holcroft. The first generation of the
pedigree of this family suggested in Genealogies of Culcheth of Culcheth^ &*c,
(privately printed, London, 1876), probably requires correction.

Alan de Rixton holds of ancient time of William le
Boteler one carucate in Rixton for one mark and does the
aforesaid knight's service.

The tenure of Rixton, though described in slightly different terms, was of
similar antiquity to that of Culcheth, probably dating from before the reign of
Henry I. Possibly it was represented in the Domesday Survey by one of the
three fees of one carucate each which Roger, Warine, and Osmond then
respectively held in Walintune (Warrington) Hundred.

Henry son of William holds of ancient time of the
same William [le Boteler] one carucate of land in Aderton
for one mark by the aforesaid knight's service.

The same remarks apply to the fee which Henry, son of William de
Atherton, held in Atherton, in the parish of Leigh, at this time.

Hugh son of Henry holds one carucate of the same
William le Boteler by the aforesaid knight's service.

lO LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

This fee represented the manor of Tyldcsley, in the parish of Leigh. The
then holder, Hugh son of Henry dc Tyldesley, like his neighbour of Atherton,
was the ancestor of a long line of descendants.

The aforesaid Pain gave to Gerard {Girardus) de San Id,
the carpenter, one carucate of land in Sanki by knight's
service. Robert, son of Thomas, holds that [carucate] by
the aforesaid service.

This appears to have been the manor and vill of Little Sankey in the parish
of Warrington. Among the gifts to the canons of Thurgarton made by Matthew
de Vilers was the service of Ralph de Sanchi, perhaps for lands in Lound,
CO. Notts. This must have been between 1 1 50-65. Robert de Sonchi and
Henr}- de Sonchi attested a Woolston charter between 1 175- 1 182 \J.anc, Pipe
A*oiIs, p. 287). Edward Sonkey, gentleman, who died December 1st, 1602,
was seised of the tenth part of a knight's fee in Little Sonkey and Warrington
{Lane. Imjuisitions, Record Soc, HI, p. i).

The same Pain gave to Adam le Vielur one carucate,
and Robert son of Robert now holds that [carucate] by
the aforesaid knight's service.

It is probable that this fee was the township of Penketh, which was long
held by a family of this name, who may not improbably have been a branch of
the neighbouring family of Sonkey, or Sankey, of Little Sankey. The con-
nexion of Robert son of Robert, the tenant at this time, with the Sonkey
family has not been ascertained.

Richard le Boteler gave to Waltheve de Waleton two
bovates of land in Egergarh by knight's service, where
ten carucates of land make the fee of one knight. Henr>',
son of Gilbert, now holds that land.

Waldeve de Walton was master serjeant of the wapentake of West
Derby, and will be noticed in due course under Walton-on-the-Hill. Gilbert
was his son and heir, father of Henry de Walton, the tenant of Eggergarth
at this lime. William de Walton, son of the said Henry, held it in 1242-3.
This way a small manor lying in the township of Lydiate, in which it is now
wholly absorbed, the name only remaining in Eggergate Mill-hou<e, and Eager
I^nc.

The aforesaid William le Boteler holds of the aforesaid
eight fees, four \lege three] knights' fees in Lindeshey {in
LindcsJuim\ whereof Robert son of Richard holds one
knight's fee in Croxton and in Philigham and in Higam ;
Robert Breton holds half a knight's fee in Ilaneworthe

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. II

and in Helsam and in Butheham ; Henry son of Ralph
holds the fee of one knight in Philigham ; William son
of Winnoc holds of the aforesaid William half the fee of a
knight in Higam.

Under Lincolnshire in Domesday, Count Roger the Poitevin had 6 bovates
in Crocestone (Croxton, in Yarborough wap.), which Anschitil, the man of
[Count] Roger held ; 4 bovates in Ingeham which Mainard held, and one
bovate in Cotes, inland in Ingeham ; 3 bov. in Haneurde {Cold Hanwortk)
which Turold, the priest, held (f. 352 b) ; in Elcsham 9 bov. which Ernui the
man of [Count] Roger held (f. 352-2) ; in Filingeham 2 car. i bov. which
Anschitil, the man of [Count] Roger held (f. 352 b. These are in Aslacoe
wap.). Robert de Statford had 9 lx)v. in Buletham (f. 368 b). In the Lind-
sey Survey (1115-8), the Count of Mortain had 6 bov. in Crochestun, which
Hugh de Crochestun held ; 6 bov. in Ingeham, and 2 bov. in Haneword,
which Reynold Purcell and Godfrey held, 2 car. 3 bov. and the fifth part of one
bov. in Filingheim, which Ranulf Bilion held ; i car. 2 bov. in Elesham, which
Roger de Montbegon held. In 1242-3, Richard (son of Robert) de Croxton
held half a knight's fee in Croxton, Jordan de L'Isle half a fee in Ingham,
Robert le Bretun one knight's fee in Ellsham and Bullham, Henry and Simon
de Fillingham one knight's fee in Fillingham. They all held of the fee of
Emery le Boteler's heir, who held of the earl of Ferrers, and he of the King
in chief {Testa^ p. 398. See also p. 304, where rather different particulars are
given). In 25 Edw. I., 1297, William le Boteler held half a knight's fee in
Croxton, the prior of Burlington two-thirds of a fee in Ingham, Robert le
Bretun the manor of Elesham, and bondages in Bultham for half a fee, William
le Boteler one fee and William Duket three-fourths of a fee in Filingham {Irtq,
p.m., 25 Edw. I., No. 51).

Item, of the town of Croppul the prior of Thurgarton
holds one carucate of land in Croppul in pure and perpetual
alms.

In William le Boteler's charter of confirmation to the canons of Thurgarton,
he confirmed " that carucate of land in Crophill which Sir Matthew de Vilers,
my grandfather, gave to them in their demesne in the town of Crophill"
{Afonasticonf v\, p. 191).

Of the gift of Matthew de Vilers, William Gerneth holds
fourteen bovates of land in Croppul, it is not known by
what service.

Amongst the benefactors to the canons of Thurgarton were Petronilla and
Alice, daughters of William Gemet. If the ten^f of this entry is correct,
W^illiam Gernet must have been far advanced in years at the date of this
inquest.

12 lancashire inquests, extents, etc

[The Fee of Sefton.]

Richard de Mulinas holds ten carucates of land and a
half * of the gift of Roger, the Poitevin, [to his ancestor] by
the service of half the fee of one knight.

The impossible descent of the family of Molyneux of Sefton from William
de Molines, invented by William Detheck, the unscrupulous Elizabethan
Garter herald, has l>een exposed in Ijinc. Pipe Rolls^ p. 427. We propose to
offer an alternative, and we trust a more probable, identification of the first
knight who bore the noble name of Molyneux in this county. Among the
knights whom Count Roger had enfeoffed of fees in the land between
Mersey and Ribble before 1086, we find ** Roger" holding a hide and a half
(9 carucates) in the hundred of West Derby, and 2 carucates in Leyland
hundred. We suggest that ** Roger" was the ancestor of Molyneux and that
this land represented the manor of Sefton with its hamlets — one hide (6 car.),
a third part of Thornton— one car., a moiety of Toxteth — two car., in the
hundred of West Derby, and Cuerden— two car., in the hundred of Leyland.
A subsequent paragraph of this inquest (page 14) tells us that Richard de Moly-
neux held a moiety of Down Litherland in exchange for Toxteth, and that he,
or more correctly his ancestor, paid 2af. yearly service for that land to *• lord
Roger" i.e.^ Count Roger the Poitevin. The printed Testa has "soluit
domino Regi," but the original return has " soluit domino Rogero." From
the perambulation of the Forest in 1228 we know that Toxteth was afforested
before the last day of the reign of Henry I. On the evidence of the entry
quoted, we suggest that Toxteth was put into the forest by Count Roger
between 1088 and 1 102, one moiety being then taken from Roger (?) de Moly-
neux in exchange for a moiety of Down Litherland, the other moiety being
demesne. In consequence of this exchange, we find Stephen, Count of Mor-
tain, confirming to Robert de Molyneux, sometime after 25 Henry I.,t **his
land in Liderlant " {Lane. Pipe Polls, p. 427). The difference of half a
carucate between the respective moieties of Toxteth and Down Litherland will
explain the reduction of the Molyneux fee from 1 1 carucates in 1086, to loj
carucates in 1212. The suggested identity of ** Roger " of the Domesday Sur-
vey, with the ancestor of Molyneux of Sefton, must be accepted reservedly, for
it is possible that he was only predecessor of Molyneux in the fee of Sefton
and not lineal attcestor. Time may bring further evidence to light.

Robert do Mulinas, father of this (ipsius) Richard, gave
two carucates of land in Kirden with his sister to Siward,

* In Domesday, "Roger'* held ijhide-g car. in ihe hundred of West
Derby, one car. in Warrington hundred, and 2 car. in the hundred of Leyland.

t Mr. Round has recently pointed out {The Anccstory No. 4, p. 156) that
the date 11 14-16 ascribed to this charter in Lane, Pipe Polls is too early,
because Stephen did not use the title of Count of Boulogne until 11 25 {cf. Cal.
of Documents— France, p. 507).

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. 1 3

son of Outi ; and Henry, his son, holds those carucates by
knight's service. And of those carucates he {ipse^ i.e.^
Henry), gave three acres of land to the blessed Mary of
Kokersand in alms.

This feoffment was made before 1 1 70. Henry, the grantor of the alms to
Cockersand Abbey, was son of Siward, not brother, as stated in the Testa de
Neville Record Com., p. 402.

The same Robert de Mulinas gave to Gilbert, his
brother, one carucate of land in Thorinton by knight's
service as much as belongs to one carucate of that fee, and
now Richard, his son, holds that land by the aforesaid
service.

This estate embraced the third part of Thornton, from which the service
due would be one twenty-first part of a knight's fee. At the date of the
inquest, Richard, son of Gilbert de Molyneux, was tenant under Richard de
Molyneux, lord of Sefton, his first cousin. Subsequently it appears that this
carucate reverted to the main line of Molyneux of Sefton.

Richard de Mulinas, son of this {ipsius) Robert, gave to
Richard Branche and to Robert half a carucate [of land]
by six shillings [yearly service] and by knight's service as
much as belongs to such a fee.

This estate lay in a place originally known as *Me Lond," or **le Lund"
(IceL lunJr^ a grove), in Sefton, now Lunt, a township in the parish of Sefton.
The £timily of Branche possessed lands here for a considerable period and pro-
bably assumed the name " de Lund " from their estate. In 23 Edward I., 1295,
Robert, son of Robert Branche, granted to Richard de Molyneux and his heirs
one bovate of land in ** le Lund " with the appurtenances (Deed at Croxteth,
X., Bundle I, No. i).

The same Richard [de Mulinas] gave to Robert, his son,
three bovates of land by knight's service as much as
belongs to such a fee.

Robert de Molyneux was ancestor of the family of Molyneux of Thornton,
who held one-third of Thornton of the Botelers of Warrington. The estate
here granted probably lay in Sefton, but it has not been identified.

The same Richard [de Mulinas] gave to Ranulf de
Litherland two bovates [of land] in Litherland by knight's
service as much as belongs to such a fee, and for five
shillings of [yearly] farm.

This estate was one-sixth of that moiety of Down Litherland which belonged

14 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

to the fee of Sefton. Ranulf de Litherland was probably ancestor of the
family of Doomsmen of Down Litherland, which office subsequently gave to
this family the corrupted appellation of le Deman, or Demand.

The same Richard [de Mulinas] gave to Simon de
Mulinas one cultivation {cultura) for two shillings of [yearly]
farm.

The charter of this feoffment is inscribed upon the great illuminated pedi-
gree of Molyneux at Croxteth. The translation runs as follows : — ** Know all
men, who are or who shall be, that I, Richard de Mulinas, have given and b>'
this my present charter confirmed to Simon, my brother, for [his] homage and
service, Hasenecroft, that is, all the land which extends itself in length from
the syke of the Yttefelt unto the syke next to the aforesaid Hasenecroft at the
way between Seftun and Thorntun ; to hold to Simon and his heirs by render-
ing yearly two shillings at the two terms, &c. These being witnesses, Richard
the parson of Sefton, Robert the parson of Waleton, William his son, Vivian
de Mulinas, Simon de Thor[nton], who wrote this charter, and many others."
The seal was circular, having a cross moline in the centre surrounded by the
legend + Sigilvm Riciiardi de Mvlinavs.*

The same Richard [de Mulinas] gave one cultivation of
land to Richard de Thorinton, for one pound of pepper by
the year.

Richard de Thornton was doubtless identical with Richard, son of Gilbert
de Molyneux, who held the Molyneux third of the township of Thornton in
12 12 (see above). He had issue a son and heir Simon de Thornton. The
land here granted may perhaps be identified as the enclosure in Sefton, known
to this day as the Pepperfield.

The same Richard de Mulinas holds one carucate of land
and a half in exchange for Tokestath, and paid therefor to
lord Roger {domino Rogero) twenty shillings. Robert de
Waleton holds of him six bovates for ten shillings [yearly
farm], and Richard son of Siward holds of him six bovates
for ten shillings [yearly farm].

This entry is interesting because it appears to tell us that it was Count
Roger the Poitevin, who first put Toxteth into the forest of West Derby. It
was taken in exchange for a moiety of Down Litherland, from the ancestor of
Richard Molyneux, who had received a moiety of Toxteth when he was
originally enfeoffed of his Sefton fee. This exchange necessitated a sub-
sequent confirmation to Molyneux of the moiety of Down Litherland, by the
lord of the honour of Lancaster. That of Stephen, Count of Mortain to

* The original charter is amongst the archives at Croxteth — viz., X.,
Bundle 4, No. 2.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. I 5

Robert de Molyneux, ancestor of Richard, was formerly in existence. It has
been printed in Lane. Pipe Rolls, p. 427. The yearly service of 20Lr, and the
ordinary feudal exactions of wardships, relief, &c., were all that Richard de
Molyneux took from this land. The tenants in 1212 were Robert de Walton,
perhaps a younger brother of Gilbert de Walton, sometime master Serjeant of
the Wapentake of West Derby, and Richard son of Siward, who is named in
a final agreement, about the fourth part of Down Litherland made in 1202,
together with his brothers Andrew and Efward {Lane. Final Concords y pt. I,
p. II).

[Manors held in Thanage, etc.]

Henry de Melling holds four carucates of land of the*
King, and pays therefor twenty-two shillings [yearly] in
thanage, of which Matthew and Alan hold two carucates
for twelve shillings of farm, and Thomas holds one carucate
of him {de /7/[^]) for five shillings. And the aforesaid
Henry, and Thomas, gave Northcroft and Hengerth and
Ructhwait, little cultivations, to blessed Mary of Koker-
sand, in alms.

Henry de Melling*s father bore the Norse name of Siward, a name which
also occurs during the 12th century in the families of Lathom and Cuerden.
He held the thane lands of Upholland (two caruoates, yearly service, I2j.),
and Melling and Cunscough (two carucates, yearly service, ioj.). Of the
former estate — viz., Upholland, Matthew de Holand and Alan de Holand
each held one moiety. Two fines levied respectively in 1202 and 1224, show
that in the former year Matthew de Holand was tenant of the whole manor
except two bovates and as such redeemed for the sum of six marks the claim
which Ughtred de Church had in the manor, perhaps as husband of Matthew's
mother. Twenty-two years later, Robert de Holand, who is generally sup-
posed to have been Matthew's son and heir, redeemed for five marks Simon de
HalsaU's claim in the same manor. Simon was the son of Alan de Lydiate,
or de Halsall, who has already been under notice (p. 9). It is therefore
natural to suppose that the Alan, who is named in this survey as holding
Upholland jointly with Matthew, may have been Alan de Lydiate. In any
case, however, it is clear from the fine of 1202, and from a gift of land here to
Cockersand Abbey, that Matthew de Holand was sole lord of this manor, and
that Alan had only a contingent interest in the estate.

Thomas, who is named in the inquest in conjunction with Henry de Melling,
was the latter's brother, and held Cunscough of him (one carucate, service 5/.).
They were both large benefactors to Cockersand Abbey before 1 190 — i.e.,
between the foundation of the Hospital in 1184 and its ele\'ation to the status
of an Abbey, which followed the Bull of Pope Qement in 1 190. The gifts of
Northcroft, Hengarth and Kughthwaite are fully set forth in the Chartular>* of
the Abbey (pp. 531 et seqq.).

1 6 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Richard, son of Robert, holds of ancient time three
carucates of land of the King by twenty shillings [yearly]
in thanage, of which Siward, son of Dunning, gave to
Gospatric one carucate for four shillings, and Richard and
John hold one bovate of Roger, son of Gospatric, by
twelve pence [yearly], and William de Stainford holds three
bovates for three shillings [yearly].

This estate was the manor of Lathom with its members or hamlets — viz,,
Ormskirk, Burscough and Marton (the last now merged in Burscough).
Hurleton and Scarisbrick (three carucates, service &.) were also members
of the thanelands of Lathom, but they appear to have escaped the notice of the
inquest.

Of the thanes of Lathom before the date of the inquest. Dunning, the first
mentioned, must have been contemporary with the Domesday Survey, which
records that Ughtred was ihane here in 1066. Perhaps Dunning was the son
or successor of Ughtred. Siward, son of Dunning, made the first recorded
feoffment of lands parcel of the manor. As this was of one carucate of which
the yearly service was four shillings, the three carucates representing Lathom,
Ormskirk and Burscough must have rendered twelve shillings. Adding to
this the service of Hurleton and Scarisbrick — viz., eight shillings, we obtain
the total service of twenty shillings mentioned in the inquest.

To Siward succeeded Henry, his son and heir, who will be noticed again under
Flixton. Henry was the father of Robert, the founder of Burscough Priory in
1 1 90, and he in turn was the father of Richard, lord of Lathom at the date of
the inquest, upon which he sat as a juror. Gospatric, who had been enfeoffed
of one carucate here, was probably the lord of Hindley. Of Roger, his son,
who held in demesne four bovates, contemporary records outside this inquest
are silent Nor can more be said of Richard and John who held one bovate,
or of William de Stainford, who held the remaining three. (A Robert de
Stanford held a fourth part of Claughton in Amounderness in 1208, and had a
son Richard, who succeeded him. Lane. Final Concords^ p. 33. An Alexander
de Stanford held one moiety of the church of Poulton in 1246.) If it is per-
missible to hazard a conjecture, we should suggest that Roger, son of Gospatric's
demesne represented Crosse Hall, and the other four bovates the hamlet of
Westhead.

And Richard de Elsinton holds half a carucate [of land]
of Richard, son of Robert, for four shillings. And the
aforesaid Robert, father of this Richard, made a certain
house of religion, that is Buresscoch and gave one carucate
to the aforenamed house in alms. The same Robert gave
one ridding {essartuni) to the holy nuns of Chester in alms.

We again venture to hazard a conjecture that the feoffment made to Richard
de Elsinton represented the demesne of Blythe Hall. The carucate which

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. 1/

Robert, lord of Lathom, gave to the canons of Norton Priory, whom he
persuaded to settle here, represented the hamlet of Ormskirk and the under-
wood of Burscough. In the survey of the nunnery of St. Mary of Chester,
made 26 Henry VIII., 1534-5, a rent of four shillings yearly was returned as
due from certain lands in Lathom, co. Lancaster {General Ecclesiastical Survey,
Office of First Fruits).

Ralph de Bikerstat holds half a carucate of land and
pays five shillings [yearly] to the lord the King in thanage,
of which Ralph, his grandfather, gave two cultivations in
Holmes and in Stotfoldechage to the Hospital of Jeru-
salem in alms. And Adam father of the same Ralph gave
four acres in alms to the Abbey of Kokersand.

Bickerstath, now corrupted into Bickerstaffe, was in 1066 represented
by the half carucate of land which Ughtred held in Achetun. The first
recorded thane of Bickerstath was Bernulf, living in the reigns of Henry I.
and Stephen, and was the father of Ralph, the donor of the two cultivations
here in Holmes and Stotfoldshagh to the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem ;
which his son, Adam, son of Ralph, confirmed to the Hospital before 1 190, in
which year Warner de Naples, prior of the Hospital, granted to farm to
Richard de la More " the land of Bikerstath which we have by the gift of
Adam son of Ralph ** [son of Bernulf] {Hist, of Birch Chapel, p. 189). Sub-
sequently, Richard de la More gave this land with other to Wigoon or Wigan,
his son, to hold of the Hospital, viz., *' the croft of Bikerstathe which I had
by the gift of Adam, [son of Ralph], son of Bernulf" {Hist, of Cheshire, edit.
Helsby, I, p. 675, in notis). Amongst Kuerden's brief abstracts (Vol. II,
ColL of Arms MSS., f. 269 b, no. 80) there is a note of a grant of Stotfoldshaw,
by Ralph de Diva, prior of the Hospital, to the church of St. Mary of
Norton, circa 1190-95. Also the abstract of a grant by William, the priest
of Stodfoldschagh to God and the canons of Norton, with his body, of the
whole of the land of Stodfoldshahom (Stotfoldshaw-holme) and Mensha-
hom (Meneshaw-holme), rendering two shillings yearly for his maintenance
[during his life?] {Ibid. f. 268, no. 16). The name Stotfoldshaw has long
since been lost. It occurs in a rental of the possessions of the Hospital, drca
1540, viz., •* Of John Starky for one close in Bikerstath called Stopfordshagh
— iij</.," which shows how trifling were the fee farm rents accepted by
the Hospital in the 12th century. The last reference we have discovered
is in a bill of complaint of Henry Starky, circa 32 Henry VIII., relative to
lands given by Alice Griffith, widow, daughter and co-heir of John Aghton
late of Aghton, gent., wherewith to found a chantry in Aughton church
{Duchy of Lane, Pleadings, N.D., Vol. 19, S. i). The lands given are there
described as parcels of ground called Shadhouse, Stotfordshaw, Crawshaw,
Coldshawe, G ret bye, and Mylnehouse. Adam de Bickerstath's gift of four
acres to Cockersand is duly recorded in the Chartulary (p. 545).

And now Hugh de Moreton and Margery his wife hold

c

1 8 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

one bovate for twenty-one pence of Henry, son of Eilsi.
And Adam, son of Waltheve, holds the third part of that
half carucate by twenty pence [yearly] of Ralph, son of
Adam.

'* Ralph, son of Adam, gave to Eilsi (or Elias), hb uncle, one bovate of
land in Bikerstad. Witnesses, Richard son of Roger, Richard de Mulinas,
Alan de Wind[hull], Gilbert de Scaresbrec, and Matthew de Holand " {Dods-
worth's MSS,f cxlii, f. 252 d; rf. Cockersand Chartulary^ p. 547, no. 3).
Henry, son of Eilsi, the grantee, subsequently enfeoffed Margery, one of the
dauu;hters and co-heirs of Richard, son of Roger, thane of Woodplumpton and
founder of Lytham Priory, who is the first witness named in the above charter.
She was given in marriage to Hugh de Moreton by the King in 1205 [Or-
me rod's Parentalia^ pt. 3, p. 7), but having no issue by her said husband her
estate probably reverted to the lord of Bickerstath. Of the estate held here by
Adam, son of Waldeve, nothing further seems to be known, so that probably
this also reverted to the lord. Adam, son of Waldeve, attested a chaxter of
Adam de Hoghton towards the end of the reign of Henry II. or beginning of
Richard I. {Lane. Pipe RollSy p. 411). Possibly he descended from a younger
brother of one of the early thanes of Bickerstath.

Adam, son of Richard, holds four carucates of land in
Bolde and Lawyke of the King and pays twenty-one
shillings and fourpence [yearly] in thanage, of which Tugor
the elder {senex\ great-grandfather of this Adam gave to
Albert {written Abb'te) half a carucate for four shillings
and sixpence, and now Henry, his son, holds [it] of the
aforesaid Adam by the same service.

This half carucate was the hamlet or a portion of the hamlet of La Quick or
La Wick. Henry, son of Albert de la Quicke, was a benefactor to Cockersand
Abl)ey of land here, which in 146 1 was described as ** le Qwykfeld" (Chartu-
lary^ p. 612).

This is the last entry on Membrane 3 a.

And Gilbert held anciently four bovates for three shillings
and sixpence, and now Richard, his son, holds [them] of
the aforesaid Adam.

And Richard, father of the aforesaid Adam, gave one
acre in alms to the Hospital of Chester, and one ridding
{essartum) to the Priory of Norton in alms.

The identity of Gilbert is uncertain, but we shall hazard a conjecture that he
was a younger brother of Orm de Haydock, ancestor of the Haydocks of Hay-
dock, a family which had a considerable estate in Bold. No further reference
has been found to the acre of land given to the Hospital of St. John of Chester.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. 1 9

At the dissolution of the monasteries, the Priory of Norton had one shilling fee
£ann rent issuing out of lands in Bold, Penkerich and Rowsiche {Ministers*
Accts., 28 Hen. VIII.).

Richard son of Martin holds half a carucate [of land] of
the King in Ditton, and pays therefor ten shillings of farm.
And Richard son of Outi holds of him two bovates by five
shillings [yearly], and Ralph holds of him one bovate for
two shillings and sixpence [yearly].

The descendants of Richard, son of Martin, appear to have held one moieiy
of Ditton for nearly two centuries subsequent to this inquest, but no contem-
porary evidences are available as to the identity of the tenants at this time.

Adam, Robert, Vincent and Henry de Ditton hold half
a carucate of the King for ten shillings of [yearly] farm.

These four tenants appear to have held portions of the moiety of Ditton
representing the yearly services of iijj., iiijj., xviij^. and xviij^., which were the
proportions held by their successors in 1346.

The heir of Adam de Gerstan holds four carucates [of
land] of the King for twenty shillings [yearly] in thanage.
Hugh son of Henry holds three bovates of ancient time for
twenty-two pence halfpenny, of the gift of Multon. Thomas
holds four bovates for two shillings and sixpence by the
gift of Multon. Henry son of Matthew holds three bovates
for xxijV. and a halfpenny of the gift of Multon. And
Simon holds iij. bovates for xxijrf. halfpenny of the gift of
the aforesaid Adam, his brother. The aforesaid Adam gave
one acre to the Abbey of Kokersand in alms. The same
Adam gave two acres to the Hospital of Jerusalem in
alms.

These thanelands comprised the vill of Garston with the hamlet of Aigburth.
Multon, the first recorded thane of Garston, was living in the time of Henry I.
and was the tenant of the Abbey of Shrewsbury, to which house Godfrey,
sheriff of Roger, the Poitevin, had given this township before 1093. Richard,
son of Multon, held Garston in the time of King Stephen {Lane, Pipe Rolls,
p. 278), and had brothers Henry and Ralph, the fathers respectively of Hugh
and probably of Thomas, named in this inquest, and probably a third brother,
Matthew, father of Henry of the inquest. Richard de (Garston was the father
of Adam, lord of Garston, living in the reign of King John, but dead before
the date of this inquest. Adam, son and heir of Adam, was a minor and in
ward of the King at this time. The charter of Adam de Garston*s gift of alms

20 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

to Cockersand Abbey will be found in the Chartulary^ p. 557, no. 5. In
the Coucher of IVhalley, pp. 559 et seqq,^ will be found many other Garston
charters, the originals of some of which are now at Aston Hall, near
Warrington.

Richard le Waleys ( Walensis) holds one carucate of the
King for x. shillings, that is in the vill of Litherland.

This is Uplitherland, formerly a vill in the parish of Aughton, but now
merged into the latter township. Richard le Waleys, or his father, had been
a retainer, as it is supposed, of Robert Banastre, who was one of the knights
whom Henry II. retained at Prestatyn Castle, co. Flint, for its defence. Upon
the capture of the castle by the Welsh in or about 11 76, numerous families of
loyal Welshmen migrated into Lancashire with Robert Banastre. It is not
unlikely that Richard le Waleys, or his father, obtained Uplitherland in
marriage, for in and long before the year 1176 that township was held by the
king's falconer of West Derby, Warine de Lancaster, and subsequently by his
son Henry, until about the year 1207, when King John took Liverpool and
Uplitherland from the said Henry, giving him English Lea in exchange.

The adjoining vill of Aughton {olim Acton) appears to have escaped the
notice of the inquest. It was held by Richard le Waleys with the advowson
of the church, but another family of Welshmen held two-thirds of the town-
ship under Richard, who held it at this time of the heirs of Richard, son of
Roger, thane of Woodplumpton, who had probably obtained it by his marriage
with Margaret, eldest daughter and co-heir of Thurstan, brother of Robert
Banastre, before-mentioned.

Simon de Crosseby holds half a carucate [of land] of the
King in Crosseby for x. shillings [yearly].

This was a portion of the demesne manor of Great Crosby, which was rated
at four carucates. Robert de Crosby held this estate of four bovates in succes-
sion to Simon, probably as son and heir. Subsequently this estate was granted
to William de Walton of Walton-on-the-Hill by Sturmi de Crosby, successor
to Robert, by the following charter :— Know all men that I, Sturmi deChrosby,
have given to William de Walton, son of Henry de Walton, and his heirs, all
my land in Chrossby, that is four bovates of land, to hold of me by rendering
X. shillings of ancient farm and iiij. pence. Witnesses, Robert de Lathum,
Adam de Molineux, Henry de Torbock, William de Molineux, Adam de
Aynulvesdale, Simon de Halsall, Walter de Skaresbreke, Richard Blundel,
Robert son of Robert de Thometon {Towtuk^s AfSS., Blundel charters,
no. 53). Subsequently the Walton family held this estate for many genera-
tions.

Roger Malloeht holds two bovates [of land] of the King
for V. shillings, and other two bovates have been alienated
from him because his ancestors put them to farm to the
King's rustics.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 121 2. 21

This estate was also in Great Crosby. Subsequent to this inquest one of
the two forfeited bovates was restored to Roger Mallock or Malet, as he is
variously called, his service or farm being increased to vijj. vjaf. His
descendants held this land.

Richard, son of Thurstan, holds one canicate of land in
Thingwalle of the King by one mark [yearly] in exchange
for his inheritance in Smeddon, which the King put into
his forest [of Toxteth]. Alan holds of him two bovates
for xW., and William holds of him one bovate for xxaf.
And Hugh holds half a carucate of the same land of
Henry, son of Gilbert, by half a mark [yearly].

Thingwall is an extra-parochial township, formerly a hamlet in the town-
ship of West Derby, containing only 175 acres. Before the exchange made
by King John it was one of the demesne manors belonging to West Derby.
In the perambulation of the forest made in 1228, this manor is thus referred
to — "And nigh these bounds (/.^., of Toxteth) King John put Smethesdune
with the appurtenances into the forest, and gave in exchange Thingwell to
a certain poor man in the street, and thereof shall the King do his will " (C/ose
Rolls, 12 Hen. III., Rolls Ser., p. loi). The descendants of Richard de
Thingwall long continued to hold this manor. Of Alan, William, and Hugh
no other references have been noted. The last-named was tenant of Henry,
son of Gilbert de Walton, master serjeant of the Wapentake, whose estate
here i^'as probably of old feoffment.

Henry de Le holds vj. carucates [of land] of the lord by
charter of the King, and pays therefor xx. shillings
yearly. Warine, his father, gave thereof the fourth part of
one bovate to the Abbot of Kokersand in alms. Henry
gave to the aforesaid Abbot two messuages in alms.

The charter of John, Count of Mortain, confirming to Henry de Lea, son of
Warine de Lancaster, the lands which King Henry II. had given to the said
Warine, for his service as falconer, has been printed in Lane. Pipe Rolls ^
p. 432. John*s confirmation, when King, was in the same terms, with the
addition "as we confirmed the same to the same Henry whilst we were Count
of Mortain." The witnesses were Geoffrey, archbishop of York, Herbert
bishop of Salisbury, and Roger bishop of St. Andrews. Given by the hand of
Simon, archdeacon of Wells, and John de Gray, at Chinon, loth October,
anno i% w^ {Charter Rolls^ Record Com., p. 26). The subsequent charter
confirmed Ravenesmoles, Ainolvesdale, and le Le Franceis, and viij</. of rent
in the borough of Preston, " and le Le Engleis which we have given to him in
exchange for Liverpul and Uplittherland, which Henry, our father, had given
with the aforesaid lands to the aforesaid Warine, his father, which the aforesaid
Henry has released to us and our heirs, to hold, &c., by rendering therefor to
us and our heirs xx. shillings yearly at the feast of St. Michael for all service
and exaction, saving to us and our heirs, wardship, and marriage of the heirs

22 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

of the aforesaid Henry, as our ancestors were accustomed to have them when
Warine, father of the same Henry, performed the service of fidconer to oor
ancestors.** Witnesses, William earl of Warren, William earl of Derby, Saier de
Quency earl of Winchester, William Briwerr, Gilbert fitz Reinfred, Thomas
Basset, Alan Basset, Robert de Greslet, William de Cantilupe. Given by the
hand of Hugh de Wells, archdeacon of Wells, at Worcester, 23rd August,
anno ix", 1207 {Ibid, p. 171 b).

If six carucates was the correct amount at which these estates were rated,
we may assume that Ainsdale claimed two, Ravensmeols three, French Lea
and English Lea each half a carucate.

Robert son of Ossebert holds ij. carucates and ij. bovates
of ancient time of the said Henry for x. shillings and to be
reeve. Alan le Brun holds of ancient time ij. bovates of the
same Henry for vji*. Dionisia daughter of Thurstan holds
ij. bovates by charter of this Henry, and for vs. of [yearly]
farm. William, brother of this Henry, holds one bovate by
one pound of pepper yearly of his gift. Richard son of
Henry holds ij. bovates of the same Henry, for v]s, yearly
of the gift of Warine, father of this Henry. Edwin holds
ij. bovates of Henry of his gift for vi*. [yearly]. Robert
holds one bovate of his gift for iij.r. Thomas, son of
Sigge, holds one bovate of the same for \\]s. [yearly].

Except the 2 carucates in Ainsdale, all these infeudations had been made
in Ravensmeols — viz., 13 bovates for 381. Henry de Lea held the remainder
of Ravensmeols and the two Leas in demesne.

Thomas de Bethum holds ij. carucates of the King in
Botle for viiji". and v\\]d, in thanage with the daughter of
Richard, son of Roger. And Roger son of Ranikel gave
to the Hospital of Jerusalem in alms one carucate of land
in Linacre.

Bootle and Linacre, now a joint township, formed part of the thanelands of
Richard, son of Roger, thane of Woodplumpton. His daughter Amuria, the
wife of Thomas de Beetham, lord of Beetham, co. Westmorland, had
received this manor in part satisfaction of her pourparty, belonging to her of
her father*s inheritance. Ramkel or Ravenkil, grandfather of Richard, son of
Roger, would appear to have been thane of Bootle in the time of Henry L
He has been identified as the Ravenkil, son of Raghanald (or Reynold), who
attested the grant of the church of St. Mary of Lancaster by Roger the
Poitevin to St. Martin of Sees in 1094. About the time of the dissolution
of the monasteries Linacre was held of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem
in several tenements, as recorded in the rental of the Hospital's possessions made
about the year 1540. **Sir William Molineux, knight, for Townfeld, 6d,

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. 23

William More for one messuage, 6d. John Osbaldeston for one messuage, is, Sd,
Thomas Barton and Ann his wife for one messuage, 2J. Thomas Johnson for
2 messuages, I2d. Richard Mercer for one messuage, I2^/., and Ralph
Longworth for one messuage, i6</.'*

A third carucate in Bootle belonged to the church of Walton-on-the-Hill,
as recorded in Domesday, and was held of the church at farm for 40d. yearly
by the heirs of Richard, son of Roger, at the date of this inquest.

Jurdan de Thornul holds one carucate of the King for
iiij.r. and viijV. in thanage with the daughter of Richard
son of Roger.

This estate was the fourth part of Formby and had formed part of the
thanelands of Richafd, son of Roger, thane of Woodplumpton. Jordan de
Thornhill obtained it by his marriage with Quenilda, another of the daughters
and co-heirs of Richard, son of Roger. After Jordan's death, this carucate
was held by Hugh de Moreton in right of his wife Margaret, another of the
daughters and co-heirs of Richard, son of Roger. At the commencement of
the barons* war he was dispossessed, but having acted faithfully to the King in
the service of Ranulf, earl of Chester, he was put in seisin by writ dated
September 27th, 12 16 {Ciose Roils^ p. 289 b). Subsequently this land formed
part of the pourparty of Quenilda, widow of Jordan, who had married
Roger Gemet, chief forester of Lancaster, and she died seised of it in 36
Henry III. {vide the inquest taken after her death).

Robert, son of Osebert, holds half a carucate to be reeve
of the manor of Crossebi and of the forest in Derbisire.

Robert was ancestor of the Blundells of Crosby, who held this estate — viz,,
the eighth part of Great Crosby, for centuries. The tenure by serjeanty was
converted in the latter part of the reign of Henry HI. to tenure in fee farm for
I Of. yearly.

Whilst Count of Mortain, King John had granted his demesne of Great
Crosby — viz., 22 bovates, to Robert, son of Osbert de Ainsdale. The charter
is printed in Lane. Pipe Rolls, p. 433. After his accession, the King confirmed
this grant in the same terms, by charter attested by William, bishop of London,
and given by the hand of Hubert, archbishop of Canterbury, the chancellor,
at Sorham, i8th June, anno i©, 1199 {Charier Rolls, Record Com., p. xl. b).
The grant was revoked before the end of John's reign, in fact before this
inquest was taken.

Henry de Waleton holds xiiij. bovates of land in
Waleton and in Wastrete and in Neusum, to be chief
Serjeant of the hundred of Derbisire of the King, which
William, Count of Boulogne, gave to Waltheve, his grand-
father.

Some account of Waldeve de Walton will be found in Lane, Pipe Rolls,
p. III. King John's charter of confirmation of this serjeanty to Henry de

24 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

Walton, runs as follows : — Know that we have confirmed to Henry, son of
Gilbert, son of Waltheve» and his heirs, six bovates of land in Walton, and four
in Wavertre, and four in Neusum, and the master serjeanty of the Wapentac,
free and quit by the service of seijeanty for all service and custom, in fee and
inheritance, to hold of us and our heirs, &c., as Waltheve, his grandfother,
wholly held and had the same lands and aforesaid seijeanty in the days of
William, Count of Boulogne, Warren and Mortain, and of King Henry, our
father, and as we granted and by our charter confirmed the same lands and
serjeanty to Gilbert, father of the aforesaid Henry, whilst we were Count of
Mortain. Witnesses, Roger, bishop of St. Andrews, &c. Given by the hand
of Hubert, archbishop of Canterburj', our chancellor, at Chinon, 23rd day of
September, anno i©, 1199 (Charter Roll^ Record Com., p. 28).

This estate comprised six bovates of the four (or more) carucates at which
Walton was rated in Domesday. The remainder of the township, which was
part of the demesne of West Derby, except four bovates, had been given by the
King to Richard de Meath, eldest son of Gilbert, son of Waldeve, by the fol-
lowing charter :— " Know that we have given, &c., to Richard de Meath, son
of Gilbert de Waleton, the whole land of the vill of Waleton with all iu
appurtenances, which used to render yearly, whilst it was in our demesne and
in our hand, forty shillings of due, ancient, and accustomed farm, to hold to him
and his heirs, &c., in fee farm by rendering therefor yearly sixty shillings for all
service. These being witnesses, William Marshall, earl of Pembroke, Ranulf,
earl of Chester, William, earl of Salisbury, &c. Given by the hand of Simon,
archdeacon of Wells, at St. Sever in Gascony, 27th day of June, anno 2%" 1200
\^lbid. p. 74).

Subsequently Richard de Meath alienated four bovates of this fee with the
King's confirmation, as follows :— " Know that we have confirmed to Richard,
son of Robert de Waleton, and his heirs, the reasonable gift which Richard de
Meath made to him of four bovates of land with the appurtenances in W^aleton,
to hold, &c, of the aforesaid Richard de Meath and his heirs by rendering there-
for yearly five shillings and sixpence for all service. These being witnesses, the
lord bishop of Lincoln, Geoffrey fitz Piers, William Briwerr, Simon de Pateshill,
Peter de Stokes, James de Poteme. Given by the hand of Hugh de Welles,
archdeacon, &c.. at Notingham, 25th day of August, anno 6^'* 1204 {.Ibid.
p. 141). The four bovates here granted may have been the estate of Spellaw.

Although Domesday only records 2 carucates 3 bovates in the manor which
Winestan held in Walton, some considerable part of the vill was involved in
the royal manor of West Derby with its 6 berewicks rated in the whole at 4
hides (24 carucates). This is obvious from what has been previously said
about this vill. Henry de Walton had 6 bovates in Guildhouses (the part of
Walton towards Warbreck) and 4 bovates in Newsham (now Walton Breck),
and his brother Richard de Meath had the royal demesne, which had pre-
viously rendered an assized rent of 401., increased in June, 1200, to 6oj.

DeUils of the rateable area where known, tallage levied in 1177, assized rents
Ixjfore 1200, and increments charged from 1200, of the demesne manors of the
hundred of West Derby are set forth in the following table, in which also it is
shown which manors were in demesne at the conquest, which were afterwards put
into the demesne, and which were still in demesne at the time of this inquest.

Hugh, son of Gilbert holds one bovate of the aforesaid
Henry by half a pound of pepper [yearly]. The aforesaid
Henry gave for the soul of King Henry, father of the
King, XX. acres in alms to the Hospital of St John of
Chester. The same Henry gave in alms for the soul of the
same [King Henry] iij. acres to the house of Birkeheueth.

It may be conjectured that Hugh, son of Gilbert, was a younger brother of
Henry de Walton. His estate has not been identified. The land given in
alms to Birkenhead Priory was probably in Newsham, a hamlet of Walton,
where at the dissolution the Priory possessed a fee farm rent of 15J. yearly
Ministers' Accounts, 28 Hen. VIH.).

Adam son of Gille holds two bovates to be serjeant under
Henry de Waleton.

Richard, the reeve, holds two bovates for keeping ward
of the lord the King's wagon teams {wainagium) and dis-
tresses {namtum).

These two estates held by seijeanty lay in West Derby township. Adam
son of Gille seems to be the same person as Adam Ceroid, who occurs in a
later schedule of serjeanties (a.d. 1222). Richard, the reeve of Derby gave four
acres of his land in Derby, between Blakemore and the Dale, to Cockersand
Abbey {Chartulary^ p. 562), and his descendant held the same estate in 1323.
The antiquity of this family as oflicers of the manor of West Derby is shown by
the following charter in which Richard's father, grandfather and great-grand-
father are respectively named. "To all, &c., William de Ferrers, earl of
Derby, sends greeting in our Lord everlasting. Know that we have granted and
confirmed, and from us and our heirs released, to Luke de Derby and Geoffrey
de Derby, clerk, and their heirs all those lands with the appurtenances, with
liberties in Blakemore and Derby, which they hold of us in the vill of Derby,
as Bruning or Gamell, Roger or Richard, ancestors of the said Luke and
Geofirey, ever formerly held of King William [? the Conqueror], freely and
quietly two bovates of land, and two crofts within their bounds, and a culti-
vation of land called the ilaye, and two ridges in Longefordland, and a ridge
in Grenlaw, with the burgages formerly the aforenamed Richard's in the vill
of Derby, and a portion of land of our waste without the ancient ditch nigh
the house of the said Luke, forty perches in length and twenty perches in
breadth, without stint {diminutio) of pasture from the said ancient ditch in
breadth unto Thorpindale, and in length from the Meresiche unto Thingwal-
ruding, with husbote and haybole in the said underwoods {nemus) of Derby
for enclosing their lands and for building, with all manner of dead wood {ligna)
green and dry, stsinding or lying, for making all manner of things needful
without any gainsay of us or our heirs, and without view of our foresters, hurt,
let or loss by any of our bailiffs. We also grant to the same as much land of the
waste, in wood and in plain, and to their heirs, as belongs to so much land in

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 27

our vill of Derby. We also grant to them and their heirs free entry and egress
for all the moveables of the said Luke and Geoffrey and their heirs from the
common wood [stTva) into the forest, and from the forest into the common
wood at all times of the year at their pleasure, and acquittance of pannage for
all their swine in the wood (doscus) of Derby when there may be competent
mastfall and when there is not, together with all other easemenU, liberties,
customs, pasturage, &c., in all commonable and uncommonable places
belonging to the vill of Derby, to hold, &c., in fee and inheritance without
claim beyond the due service to be done to us and our heirs for all services.
With warranty against all men and women, lords and ladies, clergy and laymen.
For which confirmation and quit-claim ten marks of silver have been paid to
us by the said Luke de Derby and Geoffrey the clerk at the castle of Tutbury
on the day of the exaltation of the Holy Cross, 2i Henry III. [14th Sept.,
1237] and we have put the said Luke and Geoffrey into full seisin on the 12th
of the Kalends of October [20th Sept.]. These being witnesses, Oliver le
Joun at that time seneschall of the earl, Hugh de Ferrers, Matthew de Hauer-
scgh, Robert de Lathum at that time sheriff of co. Lancastre, Henry de Tor-
bock, William rector of the church of Walton, William lord of Walton, Adam
de A>'nolisda]e, Roger de Ireland, Alan de Spellawe, Ranulf de More, William
de Wayle keeper of the castle {Castelianus) of Liuerpoll, Richard de Trafford,
clerk, and others" {TowneUy's MSS., Addit. MSS., no. 32,305, G.G. 2197).

The liberties granted in this charter were exemplified by Edward III. in
1363 at the instance of Richard de Derby, son and heir of Robert de Derby,
who was direct descendant of Luke de Derby of the charter (/did. G.G. 2904).

Quenilda de Kirkedale holds one carucate of the King for
[the service of] conducting his treasury unto the Blakebroc.
And now Jurdan holds that carucate for ij. shillings of the
aforesaid Quenilda, with the daughter of Richard, son of
Roger, by the gift of William, son of Norman.

This carucate was one-fourth part of Formby, and was held by Quenilda,
wife of Roger de Kiikdale, by serjeanty of conducting the royal treasury perhaps
as far as the brook which divides West Derby from Kirkby, when it passed
through the Hundred. William, son of Norman, appears to have been Quen-
ilda*s tenant of this land (he was mesne-lord of Kirkdale), and to have enfeoffed
Jordan de Thornhill in marriage with Quenilda, one of the daughters and co-
heirs of Richard, son of Roger, thane of Woodplumpton, of this estate, to
hold of Quenilda de Kirkdale. As Quenilda de Thornhill, afterwards Gernet,
died seised of this estate in 36 Henry III., it appears that Quenilda de Kirk-
dale granted her estate in it to the former after the death of Jordan de Thorn-
hill.*

In addition to this serjeanty in Formby, and another carucate held by Jordan
de Thornhill (p. 23), two carucates belonged to the demesne of West Derby

* The sUiement made in Lanr. Pipe Rolls^ p. 57, that Jordan de Thorn-
hill married one of the daughters of Quenilda de Kirkdale is incorrect.

28 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

and rendered yearly an assized rent of 28j. In May, 1202, these two carucates
were given to Richard de Meath to hold in fee and inheritance by the custo-
mary farm of 2Sj., and an increment of 6s. &/., for which grant he proffered a
chasoar, or 3 marks (/iot, de ObJatis^ p* I9i)« They were afterwards taken into
the King's hand during the barons' war, but restored to Richard de Meath by
writ dated August 1st, 12 15 {Ibid, p. 560). Between 1 189 and 1 194 they had
been given to Richard, son of R(^er of Woodplumpton, by John, Count of
Mortain. The King, however, resumed possession in 1 194.

[The Barony of Penwortham.*]
In the barony of Penuertham there are the fees of five
knights within the Lyme and without. Thorp, the fee of
one knight was given to Gutha, sister of Ranulf de Glan-
vill in dower, and so was alienated from the barony and
[the jurors] know not who now holds that tenement.
Brocton, the fee of one knight was given to Geoffrey de
Valoines by Albert Bussel, and they know not who now
holds that tenement.

The first Warine Bussel held a fee in Amoundemess, and probably also in
Leyland Hundred, in the time of William Rufus. Henry I. gave portions of
this fee to Robert de Lacy in the year 1 102 {Lane. Pipe Rolls^ p. 382). Upon
the creation of the Honour of Lancaster by Henry L, the barony of Pen-
wortham was incorporated and bestowed upon another Bussel, perhaps the
Geoffrey Bussel who attested the foundation charter of Furness Abbey by
Stephen, Count of Boulogne and Mortain {Ibid. p. 302). The service due to
the King from this barony was that of five knights, three for lands within the
Lyme — i.e,^ within the county of Lancaster, and two for estates in other
counties. One of these latter consisted of the Manor of Thorpe- Morieux in
CO. Suffolk, an estate of four carucates held by Roger, the Poitevin, in
Domesday, and by Gilbert de Hastings in the year 1200.

From a pleading in the King's Court in F^aster Term, 11 John, 1210, it
appears that Roger de Murious (Morieux) was summoned to show his title to
the fee of one knight in Gunetorp, which belonged to the honour of Pen-
wortham. In his answer he stated that Richard Bussell, of whose inheritance
that land was, gave it to Henry de Glanvill, father of Ranulf de Glanvill, for
his homage and service, that Henry subsequently gave it in marriage to Adam
de Biannery with Gina, his daughter, who had of her a son and heir, Adam de
Biannery, who gave it to Geoffrey de Murious, brother of the said Roger, for
his homage and service, of which (ieoffrey this Roger is heir. That the charter
with King Henry's confirmation was in the custody of Alexander, his brother,
on his mother's behalf (presumably Margery de Hastings). The Court con-
sidered that a jur>' should be summoned by twelve true knights of county

* At the date of this inquest the barony of Penwortham was in the King's
hand after the death of Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester, which had
occurred on October ist, 121 1.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. 29

Lancaster and as many of co. Suffolk to try the plea [Placitorutn Abbre-
viattCf Record Com., p. 67).

The other estate extra Lyntam^ was Nether Broughton, co. Leicester,
a manor of twelve carucates which at the date of Domesday was the land of
the King and was held at farm by Hugh fitz Baldric. Between 1124-29,
Stephen, Count of Mortain, held it, as part of the Honour of Lancaster. In
the inquest of co. Leicester, made in 1212, it was said to be held by Henry,
the Falconer, of the gift of Richard Bussel ( Testa de NevilU p. 408). Henry Fal-
coner rendered to the scutages of King John's reign {Lane. Pipe Rolls^ passim).
In 1237, Ralph de la Mare, and in 1242-3, Peter de la Mare, held this fee
{Testa, pp. 91, 97). In both instances the Lancashire jurors appear to have
presented incorrect information as to the descent of these fees.

Warine Bussel gave to Ranulf, son of Roger, v. carucates
of land in marriage with his daughter. And the heir of the
same Ranulf is in ward of Eustace de Moreton with the
whole of that land.

Ranulf, son of Roger de Marsey, or de Gamelston, of co. Notts., married
Isabel, one of the daughters of Warine Bussel, and of her he had a son Roger,
who died before 32 Henry II., when Gilljert Pipard answered for the issues of
his lands. Ranulf, son of this Roger, proffered 50 marks for his relief in i John.
By his wife Isabel, who gave 12 marks to marry whom she would in 12 John,
he had issue Roger, son of Ranulf, in ward of Eustace de Moreton at the date
of this inquest, the latter having given lOO/i. for his wardship in 8 John {Pipe
RollSy passim), Ranulf de Marsey probably died in the King's service over sea
in 8 John, 1206-7. About the year 1230 Roger, his son, sold his Lancashire
estates to Ranulf, Earl of Chester, for 200 marks {Duchy of Lanc.y Great
CoweheTy I, f. 77, no. 79). The five carucates which had formed the original
feoffment to his ancestor lay in the following townships, all members of this
barony. Duxbury (ij car.), Adlington (ij car.). Heath Chemock (| car.),
Chemock Richard {\ car.), Shevington (i car.), and Welch Whittle (i car.).
In addition it is probable that he had received a grant of the mesne lordship of
Standish and Langtree (each I car.), and that for these 8^ carucates he per-
formed the service of one knight out of the quota of five knights due from this
barony.

The same Warine Bussel gave to Gillemichel, son of
Eward, in marriage with his daughter iiij. carucates of
land, whereof his heirs {sic) hold iij. carucates of land, and
is {sic) in the ward of the archdeacon of Stafford, and
William de Harewood.* And the heir of Theobald Walter,
who is in the ward of the lord the King, holds one carucate
in Mithop of that barony.

* rectius Harecurt.

30 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Eward or Efward would probably he living as early as the reign of Henry I.
The fee which Warine Bussel gave to Gilmichael, son of the said Efward, with
his daughter in marriage, consisted of two carucates in Frees, par. of Kirkham,
being the whole of the vill, one carucate in Newton, being half the vill (now
Newton with Scales, par. of Kirkham), and one carucate in Mithop, a hamlet
of Weeton. Gilmichael had issue Robert, his son and heir, who gave one
bovate of land in Frees, and land in Whittington of which he appears to have
been tenant, to Cockersand Abbey {Char/ulary, p. 2C»), and died about 1 207.
William de Frees who held these estates during the reign of Henry III., was
probably son and heir of Robert, son of Gilmichael.

The same Warine gave to Hamon le Boteler in frank
marriage with his daughter, ij. carucates of land in Heton
and in Etheliston. Adam de Hocton holds the same
Heton, that is one carucate of land.

The estate in Heton held by Adam de Hoghton was a moiety of Heatoa-
in-Lonsdale rated at one carucate. The tenure of this manor in the I3th
century has been fully described in Lane. Pipe Rolls^ Early Charteiii
Series xvii. No. iv. of this series is a grant by Adam, son of Richard^
son of Hamon le Boteler, to Augustine, son of Waldeve, ancestor of
Heaton of Heaton-in-Lonsdale, of the moiety of Heaton, to hold by the
service of the ninth part of a knight's fee. This document proves the first
three generations of the Hoghton pedigree. The following confirmatioil
passed before 1242 : — Know all men that I, Adam, son of Adam de Hoctoo
have confirmed to Roger, son of Roger de Heaton and his heirs, the half part
of Heaton by performing the service of one-ninth part of a knight's feei
Witnesses, William de Lancastre, Matthew de Redeman, Roger Gemetli,
Simon de Thornton, then sheriff of Lancaster, William de Clifton, William de
Carlton, Adam de Singleton, William de Thornton, William de Frees
{Kuerden's A/SS., Coll. of Arms, V, f. 113 6, no. 1965).

Albert Bussel gave one carucate of land in Etheliston to
the Hospital of Jerusalem.

Albert Bussel's gift of the vill of Elston was probably a confirmation only of
Hamon le Boteler's previous gift. The Hospital thus dealt with this estate :—
"Know that I, Ralph de Diva, prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in
England, have granted, and by the assent of the brethren of the whole chapter
given, to William, son of Hamon and his heirs or assigns the whole town of
Ethelston in Aumundemess to hold hereditarily and freely of our house by
rendering therefor yearly to our house viijj. after the first of St. Feter which
is called ad Vincula for all service. And we will that the said William and
his heirs shall be quit at our court in Aumunderness, so nevertheless that he
and his heirs shall render to the house of the Hospital of Jerusalem ij,
marks after their decease for the health of their souls, and for the health of
the souls of all their lords, parents and friends" {Kuerden^s A/SS,, ColL
of Arms, V, f. 82 d, no. 8). As Adam dc Hoghton afterwards held part

>

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A*D. 1212. 3 1

the vill, it appears probable thai William son of Hatnon, grantee from
Ralph dc Diva, prior of the Hospital tirca 1 190-5, was uncle of Adam dc
Hoghton,

Richard Bussel gave to Alan son of Swane in marriage
with his sister iiij. carucates of land and a half in Gun-
nel uesmores. Richard Fiton holds the same land by
knight's service of the same barony.

The original feoiTuieril to Abn son of Swain can hardly hux'e been made by
Richard Bussel. More probably Warine Btissel, father of Richard, was the
grantor* This is evident from the charter of Richard Bus!sel to Richard
Fit ion of eight canicalcs of land in the barony of renwortham, which is
printed in Zaiir. Pipe Rolht p. 374. The grant included Els wick {2| car*),
Clayton 'Ic- Woods (i car»)i and Gunolfs Moors, that is, Whittle-in the- Wood,
Wheclton, Wilhnell, Hoghton, and Roddlesworth (4^ car.). As this charter,
which probably passed Ijctween 1159-64, refers 10 William, son of Alan, son
of Swain, whom Alan must have had by ihe daughter of Warine Bussel, it
appears probable that the original feoftment referred to in this inquest must
have been made between 1 145-50, when Warine Bussel was lord of the barony.
It is uncertain if the Richard Fitton holding at this time was the Richard,
grantee of the charter of 1159-64. or his son Richard, whose inquest post*
m»rUm was taken 30 Henry \\\.

The same Richard Bussel gave to Robert Hikeling in
marriage with his sister one carucate [of land]. The heir
of the same Robert holds that land.

It is not easy to conjecture which estate tliis may be. The only estate not
traceable to other feolTincnts appears to l>e one carucate in Leyland, which
descended in the family of Farringlon and may have been the inheritance of
John dc Farringlon, son of William de Meols, son of Robert, son of Alan de
Meols.

The same Richard Bussel gave ij. carucates to Richard
Spileman in marriage with his sister, that is Standish and
Langeton {sic). Thurstan Banastre holds that land by
[the service of] one sor hawk [yearly].

This fee included the two vills of Standish and Langtree {mis- writ ten
Longelon). Richard Spileman was the predecessor of Leising, who succeeded
cither as son and heir, or, more probably, by marriage viilh Richard's
daughter and heir. Leising was the father of two sons, Ralph, who took
Standish, and Siward, who had Langtree as bis inheritance ; which division
somewhat strengthens the supposition that their father had acquired the two
townships in marriage. The partition between Ralph and Si ward was effected
by an agreement made in the King s Court at Westminster in Trinity Term,
1206 {Laru. Final Ci>na>rds^ pL I» p. 24 K

32 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Warine Bussel gave iij. bovates of land in Penuertham
and ij. bovates in Langeton to the Church of Penuertham
in pure alms. Richard Bussel gave iiij. bovates of land in
Langeton and j. carucate of land in Farinton to the same
church in alms. Albert Bussel gave ij. bovates of land in
Lailand to the same church in alms. The abbot of
Euesam holds that church with all [these] lands.

Charters in Penwortham Priory (Chetham Soc., Old Series, xx2c) record
the following benefactions to Evesham Abl)ey : —
By Roger the Poitevin — The vill of Howick.
By Warine Bussel — The church of Penwortham with the tithes.

In Penwortham two bovates.

The vill of Farrington.

In Longton two bovates.

Three shillings out of the church of Leyland.

Two-thirds of the tithe of the demesne.

Two shillings out of the chapel of North Meols.

Two-thirds of the tithe of the demesne in Freckleton
and Warton.

The fishery, with one net, in the Ribble.

Tithe of the corrody of his house.
By Richard Bussel — The church of Leyland.

Out of his whole fishery the fishing of two nets and
the fourth fish.

In Longton four bovates.

In Penwortham one bovate.

The chapel of North Meols.
By Albert Bussel — In Longton two bovates at his decease.
By Matilda, wife of Richard Bussel — In Euxton two bovates.
By Letia, wife of Albert Bussel — In Leyland two bovates.
These particulars show that the inquest was not greatly concerned as to the
accuracy of its findings.

Richard Bussel gave to the Abbey of Chester j. carucate
of land in Ruchford in alms, which the abbot of Chester
holds.

This was the vill of Rufford which had been given to the Abbey of St.
Werburgh of Chester, but had not yet been granted in fee farm to Richard
Fitton, who subsequently held it of the Abbey for ten shillings yearly.

Richard Bussel gave one bovate of land in Penuertham
to the Priory of Bothelton in alms.

If this bovate was given to Bolton Priory, in Craven, no other record of the
gift has remained, nor can any such tenement be traced in the Vcdor Ecclesi'

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. 33

asHcui or elsewhere. The only other suggestion we can make is, that this
bovate was given to the church of Bolton-le- Moors at a period when the
£Biiiiily of Marsey, lords of the manor and vill of Bolton, had some intention of
giving that church to a house of religion to be founded there. At an unknown
date in the 12th century this church was given to the priory of Marsey, pro-
bably upon the foundation of that house by Roger, son of Ranulf de Marsey,
before 1192 {cf. Lane. Final Concords^ pt. i, p. 75 in notis),

Albert Bussel gave to Gerald de Claiton iiij. bovates of
land for his homage that he might be his seneschal.

Gerald de Clayton held one moiety of Clayton-le-Woods of the barony of
Penwortham. In addition to the office of seneschal of Penwortham, by virtue
of which he held these four bovates in Penwortham by serjeanty, he was
also master serjeant of Leyland Hundred by the grant of John, Count of
Mortain, and by the confirmation of John when King — " Know that we have
confirmed to Ceroid de Claiton for his homage and service the serjeanty of
Leilondesire, to hold to him and his heirs by the service which belongs to that
serjeanty to be therefor done to us and our heirs for all service, as we granted
it to him and his heirs whilst we were Count of Mortain. Witnesses, &c., at
Chinon, loth day of October, anno i*," 1199 {Charter Koll^ Record Com.,
p. 26).

The lord Roger, the Constable, gave ix. bovates in
Leiland to the Hospital of Jerusalem which Hugh Bussel
holds.

In 1 199 King John confirmed the barony of Penwortham to Hugh Bussel
by the following charter — ** Know that we have confirmed to Hugh Bussell
the whole of Penver[t]ham with all its appurtenances which he deraigned in our
court, whilst we were Count of Mortain, as his right and inheritance against
Geoffrey Bussell, to hold to him and his heirs by the service of three knights
for all service. Witnesses, &c., at Chinon, loth day of October, anno i*,"
1 199 {Ibid, p. 27 b). The story how Hugh and Robert Bussel lost this
barony will be found in Lam, Pipe Rolls (pp. 138, 161, and 380). In the year
1205 they sold it to Roger, Constable of Chester.

At the dissolution of the monasteries, the Hospital had the following rents
in Leyland : —

Of the lord the King for land in the holding of * « • Bushel, . 3;.

Of Nicholas Blaclach for a messuage called Bursco Place, . . (id.

Of Peter Farinton for 3 acres of land parcel of the said messuage, . dd.

Of Peter Farinton for land called Brex, \2d.

Of Henry Farinton, knight, for a messuage called Milnhurst, acquired

from John Farinton, bd

It appears, therefore, that at this date, c, 1540, the greater part of these
nine bovates was still in the holding of the heirs of Hugh Bussel.

Roger de Lasci gave to Robert Bussel ij. carucates and

D

34 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

ij. bovates of land in Langeton and in Leiland, and the
service of ij. carucates in Euckeston, by performing the
service of the tenth part of one knight

Robert Bussel was son of Geoffrey Bussel, a younger son of Warine, the
founder of Penwortham Priory. Roger de Lacy*s grant was probably a con-
firmation only of that which Robert already held by inheritance. The major
portion of this estate descended, through his daughter Alice's marriage to
John de Farrington, to the Farringtons of Werden.

Richard, son of Roger de Frequelton, holds j. carucate
of land in Thorp of the King in chief, and renders therefor
xj., and he is in ward of the Archdeacon of StaflTord and
William de Harewott by the King.

This estate of Thorp, a hamlet of Bretherton, was the only vill in the
Hundred of Leyland, which was held of the King in chie^ and of which the
rent was charged upon the Corpus Coniilatus, Roger de Freckleton was tenant
in 1 202, and died before the date of this inquest, when his son Richard was
under age and in ward to Henry de London, archdeacon of Stafford, and
William de Harecurt. Gamel de Thorp, who held under the Freckletons, is
called lord of Thorp in a charter to Cockersand Abbey of land here {Chartu-
lary, p. 480). Roger de Freckleton held nine carucates of land for one
knight's fee of this barony— viz., Freckleton (4 car.), Newton (2 car.), Elswick
(2 car.), and Whittingham (i car.).

Robert Gredle holds iij. carucates of land in Burnul and
in Anderton of the same barony and performs no service.

This and the next entry refer to members of the barony of Penwortham
which had been given to the Grelleys, barons of Manchester, at a very early
date, probably soon after the accession of William Rufus, when Albert Greslet,
or Grelley, received Manchester in lieu of one moiety of Clitheroe.

The same Robert Greddle holds ij. carucates in Eston
of the same barony and ought to render therefor yearly
one goshawk or xxj., but he renders not.

These two carucates comprised the vill of Ashton-under-Lyne, without
the church. Early in the reign of Henry I., Albert Grelley I. gave a moiety of
this vill to Orm, son of Ailward, ancestor of the Kirkbys of Kirkby Irleth,
in marriage with his daughter, as will be noticed hereafter. It is worth noting
that an estate lying so far distant from Penwortham, as does Ashton-under-
Lyne, can hardly have been included in this barony except by reason of
having formed part of the fee of the person who was originally enfeoffed of
that barony upon its creation. In this regard it is a significant fact that
amongst the knights holding fees in Salford Hundred in 1086 was a Warine
enfeoffed of two carucates, and in West Derby Hundred a Warine enfeoffed of

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. I2I2. 35

three canicates. This Warine is probably identical with Warine Bussel, who
held Preston and a considerable fief in Amounderness before iioo, and the
carucatesare in number equivalent to the respective rating of Ashton-under-Lyne
and Kirkdale, vills which were afterwards members of the fee of Penwortham.

Warine Bussel gave to Norman iij. carucates of land in
Kirkedale by knight's service, where x. carucates make
the fee of one knight. And now Quenilda, daughter of
Roger, holds that land by the same service.

Quenilda de Kirkdale, daughter and heir of Roger de Kirkdale, has been
noticed under Formby. She was the wife of Richard, son of Roger, not to be
confounded with another of that name who was thane of Woodplumpton. It
is not clear in what relationship she stood to William, son of that Norman who
was the first to be enfeoffed of Kirkdale. We have observed above that in
1086 " Warine *' held half a hide (3 carucates) of Roger the Poitevin in West
Derby Hundred. The particulars are consistent with a feoffment of Kirkdale
by G>unt Roger to his knight, Warine Bussel I.

Summarising the various members of this barony, the following particulars
will show what infeudations were made by the Bussels in their demesne lands,
which were the other members of the barony, what military service was pro-
bably due therefor, and by whom they were held at the date of the inquest : —

the great inquest of service, a.d. 1 2 12. 37

[The Boteler's Fee of Weeton in Amounderness.]

Theobald Walter holds the fee of half a knight, and
thereof Hervey, father of Hervey Walter gave to Orm,
son of Magnus, with his daughter Aliz in marriage iiij.
carucates of land in Routheclif, Thistilton, and Grenhole by
knight's service.

We have shown in Lane, Pipe Rolh^ p. 410, that Orm, son of Magnus, was
the &ther of Roger de Hutton of Hutton in Leyland Hundred. Theobald
Walter, Boteler of Ireland, was son and heir of Hervey Walter, named in this
inquest, by Matilda his wife, daughter of Theobald de Valoins, lord of Parham,
CO. Suffolk, and sister of Bertha, wife of Ranulf de Glanvill. By some authori-
ties he has been identified as Hervey de Glanvill, brother of Ranulf, chief
justiciar in i i8a The similarity of the arms respectively borne by Glanvill and
Boteler, points to some relationship between the two families, but we cannot
voudi for the suggested relationship, as given in Records of ike House of Glanvill^
pp. 176-S. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that some of the Irish estates held
by the Duke of Ormonde, who is lineally descended from Theobald Walter,
and still uses his arms — ^r, a chief indented azure — were included in the grant
by John, Count of Mortain, when he was Governor of Ireland, to Ranulf de
Glanvill and Theobald Walter — viz., five and a-half cantreds in the land of
Limerick, to be held by them and their heirs by the service of twenty-two and
a-half knights' fees with important franchises {op. ciL^ p. 65).

The various members of the Boteler fee will be fully described in one of the
following inquests /ffx/ mortem.

This entry is the last on membrane 3 b.

In Mereton there are vj. carucates of land, whereof iij. Membrane
carucates of land are in the hand of the King for the heir 3 c.
of Theobald Walter, who is in his ward. And other iij.
carucates Adam de Merton holds by knight's service.

Theobald Walter died in 1206, and his son Theobald did not attain his
majority until shortly before July 2nd, 1221 {Close Rolls, Record Com., I,
P- 463 ^)* In October, 1223, Theobald was excused liability for service in
Wales, because he had been with the earl of March in Lincolnshire {IbicL
p. 573). On May 26th, 1224, he had a grant during the King's pleasure of
Ae manor of Merton, ca Line, for his maintenance whilst in the King's
service {Ibid, p. 601 b), Marton in Amounderness was an escheat from the
Honotur of Peverel, to which a few Lancashire vills had been attached, before
the creation of the Honour of Lancaster, and probably after the last forfeiture
of Count Roger, the Poitevin, in 1 102. In the reign of Stephen, the fourth
part of Marton had apparently been in the possession of Warine Bussel, who
gave to the abbey of Evesham '* one carucate and a half in the vill which is
called Merettm, with the moiety of all the turbary (some codices have under-

38 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

wood, but query if not stock), which Warine possessed there, that is four cows»
and four oxen, and sixty sheep" {Priory of Penwortham^ p. 3).

The other moiety of Marton was held by Adam de Marton in chief of the
King by the tenth and twentieth part of one knight's fee. His descendants
continued here for many generations.

[The Honour of Clitherok]

Roger de Laci holds the fee of v. knights of the fee of
Cliderhou, which are in the hand of the King.

Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester, died October ist, 121 1, or nearly
nine months before the taking of this inquest. Henry de London, archdeacon
of Stafford and William de Harecurt, two of the King's clerks of the Ex-
chequer, appear to have acted as escheators during the period that the King
retained in his own hand the issues of the honour of Qitheroe and barony of
Penwortham. Their names have occurred twice previously as having the
wardship of heirs holding of the barony of Penwortham. By letters dose,
tested at Salvata, Northants, July loth, 14th year, 1212, the King sent his
mandate to the barons of the Exchequer to give acquittance to Henry, arch-
deacon of Stafford and William de Harecurt because he had received of
them at Salvata, on Monday next after the octave of the Apostles Peter and
Paul (July 9th, 121 2), 330 marks by the hands of Walter, the clerk of the said
archdeacon, and Richard de Clitheroe (Glidenho), of the issue of the land
which had been the Constable of Chester's {Close Rolls^ I, p. 120). This sum
would perhaps represent the issues of the Constable's estates received at mid-
summer that year. No doubt the fact that the honour of Clitheroe, barony of
Penwortham, and fee of Widnes were at this time in the King's hand explains
the reason that no particulars are given in this inquest touching this honour
and but few touching the fee of Widnes.

Hugh de Eland holds iij. carucates and ij. bovates of the
same tenement for xlviijV., to be paid to the same Roger
de Lacy.

The liberty or lordship of Rochdale was at this time dependent on the
honour of Clitheroe. It was rated at eight carucates, reduced from the pre-
conquest hidage of two hides, the equivalent of twelve carucates, and the
assized rent or yearly service had been fixed at 6/. or 22^^. for each bovate.
It seems probable that each of the four townships or vills, into which Rochdale
was divided— viz., Hundersfield, Spotland, Butter worth, and Castleton, had
been rated at two carucates. Hugh de Eland's fee, with the addition of six
bovates given in alms by Roger de Lacy to Stanlaw Abbey, represented one
half of the whole lordship, the service at a later period being 6of ., although
stated at 48^. in this inquest.

The same Roger gave to Robert de Flainesburch in
marriage with the daughter of Robert de Liuerseg x.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. 39

bovates of land, and the half and third part of half [a bovate]
by xxs. yearly.

Roger de Thorinton and Thomas de Horbiri hold x.
bovates and a half, and the third part of half [a bovate] by
xxs. yearly.

Roger de Laci gave to Gilbert de Laci with Agnes,
daughter of John de Himerum in marriage, x. bovates of
land and a half, and the third part of half [a bovate] by xxs.

These three estates will be found by addition to represent one moiety of
the lordship, held by the yearly service of 60s. It has been supposed that this
division into thirds was due to partition between three sisters and co-heirs.
Sufficient evidence is not available to elucidate the matter satisfactorily, but
the following points are of interest — John de Hipperholme (? a younger son of
Asolf of Osgoldcross) appears to have had issue, two, if not three, daughters.
One married Robert de Liversedge, another, named Agnes, married Gilbert de
Lacy of Cromwellbothom, and possibly a third married another Liversedge. By
fine levied at I>oncaster, on Sunday after the Octave of the Apostles Peter and
Paul, 4 John (July 7th, 1202), William de Horbury and Roger de Thornton,
called to warrant by Robert de Sandale, against whom Alice, relict of Henry
de Eland was claiming dower, granted to the said Alice 2 bovates in Elande,
which Orm de Elande and Henry the reeve held, the third part of the service
of Robert de Sandale in Crigleston — viz., 12s. 3jd^., the third part of the
service of Thomas, son of Adam, of 6 bovates in Dewsbury, the third part of
the service of Robert de Liversedge of half a carucate in Hipperholme, the
third part of the service of Gilbert de Lasci and Agnes his wife, of 4 bovates
in Hipperholme, and the third part of the service of Adam, son of Edusa of
two bovates of land in Northovram, to hold to Alice, of the said William
and Roger by 6s. ^ yearly for all service ( YorAs. FineSy Surtees Soc, xciv,
p. 17). Henry de Eland had held his lands of the said Roger and William,
who appear to have been the respective fathers of Roger de Thornton and
Thomas de Horbury named in this inquest. It is probable that the latter held
the sixth part of Rochdale only for a short time after the taking of this survey,
and subsequently resigned it to John de Lacy, Constable of Chester. For
although another Robert de Liversedge was in possession of this sixth part in
1285, and is described as grandson of Robert de Liversedge, named in this
inquest, who died before it was held, having enfeoffed the Abbot of Sallay of
one moiety of Whitworth {Whalley Coucker, pp. 613, 707, 726), nevertheless
Robert de Flaynsburgh confirmed this grant apparently on the very day it was
made. Therefore it appears that Robert de Liversedge of 1285 was the
successor of Roger, son of this Robert de Flaynsburgh. Moreover he resigned
his sixth part of Rochdale to Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, about the year
1292, as found by inquest taken in the court of Rochdale, on Thursday after
the feast of St. Valentine, 15 Edward II. {Ibid. p. 706). The survey of Roch-
dale made in 131 1, after the death of the Earl, shows that, of the fomilies hold-
ing this lordship in 1212, only Eland and Lacy of Cromwellbothom remained,
the one rendering 6of. for half the lordship, the other 20;. for one-sixth.

The aforesaid Roger de Laci gave to the monks of
Stanlawe vj. bovates of land in alms.

From a careful examination of the evidences in the Coucker of WhtUky it
appears that this was a confirmation of gifts made by the mesne lords of
Rochdale, probably of the moiety of Whit worth (4 bov.) and of 2 bovates in
Castleton.

The heirs of Richard, son of Roger, hold the fourth part
of the fee of one knight.

Richard, son of Roger, died in 1201 {Lam, Pipe RoHs^ p. 136). His hein
were — (i) Matilda, wife of Sir Robert de Stockport, married in 1180, a widow
in 1206, and had issue ; (2) Quenilda, married first to Jordan de Thomhill,
secondly ^ after 1222 to Roger Gernet, chief forester of Lancaster, and died
without issue in 36 Hen. III. ; (3) Margaret, wife of Hugh de Moretoo, by
the King's gift in 1206 (/^iV/., p. 208), died without issue ; (4) A vice, wife of
William de Milium, married in or before 1201, both dead before 1235, without
issue ; and (5) Amuria, wife of Thomas de Beetham, married before 1206^
and had issue. The fourth part of a knight's fee here mentioned was Burstath
Bryning (2 car.), and Kellamergh (i car.), in Amoundemess, which were
confirmed to the above co-heirs by King John in 1201, as fDlIows : —

** Know that we have confirmed to Matilda, wife of Robert de Stokepord,
and Margaret, and Avice, wife of William de Mulhum, Quenilda and Amuria,
daughters of Richard, son of Roger, two carucates of land in Brichstatbruoin,
and one carucate of land in Kelgrimesherege, to hold to them and their heirs
by the service of the fourth part of the fee of one knight, as the charter which
we made thereof to Richard, son of Roger, their father, whilst we were Count
of Mortain, reasonably testifies, excepting two carucates of land in F<Mmeby
which we have retained in our hand. Witnesses, John, bishop of Norwich ;

[The Fee of Widnes.]

Roger, Constable of Chester, holds of the barony of the
Constable within the Lyme iiij. knights' fees, whereof
Richard son of Robert holds the fee of one knight by the
service of one knight.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 212. 4I

The greater part of the fee of the Constable of Chester in LAncashire had
been granted before the date of Domesday to Nigel, the first Constable, and
vas held by his son William at the date of Domesday — viz., four hides and
one camcate (25 car.) in West Derby and Warrington Hundreds. Subsequently
this fee was increased, by the addition of 13^ camcates, probably part of the
fee of Count Roger's sheriff Godfrey, to a total ratable area of 38^ camcates.

The fee first mentioned was Richard, son of Robert de Lathom's fee of
Knowsley (4 car.), Roby (3 car.), Huyton (2 car.), and Torbock (3 car.).

William, son of Matthew, holds the fee of one knight
by the service of one knight.

This is William de Daresbury, father (or more probably grandfather) of
Margery, who married Henry le Norrcys, son of Alan le Norreys of Formby,
and brought to him the manor of Daresbury and lands in Over-Walton, co.
Chester, and this knight's fee in Sutton (4 car.), Eccleston (4 car.) and Rain-
hill (2 car.) As Henry le Norreys died shortly before 1302, and Margery his
wife after 13 14, it is difficult to believe that she was the daughter of William,
son of Matthew, of this inquest {cf. OmurocTs PUrentalia^ pt. 2, p. 11).

John, Constable [of Chester] gave to the Templars of
Jerusalem in alms j. carucate of land. The same John
gave to the Hospital of Jerusalem in alms ij. carucates of
land.

This was the father of Roger, the Constable. He died at Tyre, on a crusade
in 1 1 90, having founded the abbey of Stanlaw, in 1178, and having also made
the above grants in alms — viz., to the Knights Templars a carucate, the
locality of which is now unknown, and is not recorded in the inquest of the
Templars' lands {Monasticofi, vL p. 821 e/ seq,) ; and two carucates to the
Hospital of Jerusalem in Great Woolton, which gift has also escaped notice in
the schedule of gifts to the Hospitallers {Ibid,^ p. 831 b, et seq,). As Great
Woolton was rated at 3 carucates, it is possible that the Templars' carucate
was one-third part of that vill, and that it passed to the Hospitallers, who held
the remaining two-thirds of the vill, in exchange for lands elsewhere.

Several charters of the Hospital exist, granting bovates in Great Wolueton
to the tenants of the same, wherein it is expressly stated that the Hospital had
Wolueton by the gift of John, Constable of Chester, made before 1187 (at
Aston Charters Hall, near Frodsham).

Roger, Constable of Chester, gave to the Abbey of Stan-
law iij. carucates of land in alms.

The Gaucher of Whalley shows that Roger, the Constable, gave to the
brethren of the Hospital of Jerusalem before the year 1205 the vill of Little
Woolton in alms, free from all service. On April i ith, in the year named,
King John sent his mandate to the sheriff and bailiflb of Lancaster command-
ing them not to distrain the abbot and monks of Stanlaw to render forinsec

42 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

service for their manor of Wolueton, which Roger, Constable of Chester, had
given them in alms {op, ciL, p. 804). In 1292 the prior of the Hospital of
Jerusalem impleaded Abbot Gregory for this manor, and subsequently recovered
the same by fine levied at Lancaster, in Trinity Term of that year, whereby
the abbot and monks of Whalley released all right therein to the Hospital {op.
cit.i p. 809). Little Woolton was rated at two carucates. As no other gifts
by the Constable of Chester within this fee can be traced, it appears that in
this instance " three " carucates were entered in the record of the inquest by a
clerical error.

Richard de Mulinas holds iij. carucates of land of the
same fee, where x. carucates make the fee of one knight

This was the manor of Little Crosby, which is said to have descended to
Molyneux of Sefton by the marriage of Robert de Molyneux to Beatrice,
daughter and heir of Robert de Vilers, lord of Little Crosby {sic). As the
originator of this statement was an Elizabethan Herald, whose statements we
have already found to be untrustworthy, who had the hardiness to record on the
pedigree of Molyneux which he drew up, that his authority for this marriage,
as also for that of Adam de Molyneux to Annota, daughter and heir of Bene-
dict Gemet, was derived *'ex antiquissimo libro feodorum Eschaetoris Comit-
atus Lancastrise," which references will be sought for in vain either in this roll
or in the Feodary from which he so glibly quoteF,* the trustworthiness of his
early pedigree work is altogether discredited. There b good evidence that
Robert de Vilers possessed lands in Lancashire within the fee which his ances-
tor Pain de Vilers had formerly held. But as these did not descend to Moljrn-
eux, we are unable to accept the statement that Beatrice de Vilers was
heir to her father Robert. t In the middle of the 13th century Little Crosby
was held under Molyneux of Sefton by Molyneux of Crosby, whose under-
tenants were Blundell of Crosby, Gilbert of Little Crosby and others, whose
interests were ultimately absorbed by the Blundells of Crosby.

Hugh de Moreton holds of the same fee ij. carucates of
land, where xij. [lege x.] carucates of land make the fee of
one knight.

Hugh de Moreton has been noticed as the husband of Margaret or Margery,
daughter of Richard son of Roger. He held this fee — which was the vill of
Kirkby in the parish of Walton — in right of his wife. By his consent she gave
to the monks of Stanlaw, with her body, the vill of Kirkby. As, however, she
had no issue the grant became invalid, notwithstanding a clause in her charter
anathematising any one who might afterwards oppose the gift {Coucher of
Whalley^ p. 828). In 11 76, Richard son of Roger proffered 5 marks for an

• Duchy of Lane, y Miscell, Vols., no. 130, f. 8.

t A Beatrice, who appears to have been daughter of Robert de Vilers, lord
of Much Hoole, and Halsall (?), was wife of Walter de Hoole in 1224 {cf Lame.
Final Concords, pt. I, p. 44).

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. 43

inquiry by the justices as to the truth of his title in, or claim to, Kirkby, which
he held of the Constable of Chester {Lane. Pipe Rolls^ P« 3i)« The pasturage
of the wood of Simonswood, included by Henry II. in the forest of West Derby,
was said to belong to this manor {Lane. Pipe Roils ^ p. 217).

Hugh de Tildesle holds one carucate of land of the
same [fee], where x. carucates make the fee of a knight

This was the vill of Astley, in the parish of Leigh, which Hugh dc Tyldesley
then held, as his descendants did after him.

Alan de Halsale holds half a carucate of land of the
same tenement by knight's service.

This was the vill of MaghuU, of which the ancestors of Alan de Lydiate,
alias de Halsall, had doubtless been enfeoffed by one of the Gemcts at the same
time that they acquired the vill of Lydiate lying contiguous to this manor.
Mabel, daughter of William Gernet, possessed land in Maghul in the reign of
Richard I. which she gave to the church of St. Cuthbert of Halsall {Dods*
worth's AfSS., cxlii, f. 123). It seems probable that Benedict and Alan, sons
of Simon de Lydiate, who was son of Steinulf de Lydiate, inherited Lydiate
and Maghull by the marriage of their ancestor with a lady who was ultimately
heiress of that branch of the house of Gernet which had held these manors.

The remaining members of the fee of Widnes, viz., C ronton and Appleton,
were held by the Constable in demesne. Cuerdley had long since been alienated
to the lords of Manchester, and Staining in Amounderness had been given in
alms {Lan£. and Ches, Hist. Soc, xvii, pp. 33-4).

[The Forest Fee.]

Roger Gerneht holds the fee of one knight by the
office of forester. And of that fee Roger Gerneht, his
ancestor, gave ij. carucates in Spec in marriage to Richard
de Mulinas.

The fee of the Master Forester of Lancaster consisted of nine manors
having a rateable area of 21^ carucates. The following were the members : —
Speke (2 car.), Whiston with the church of Prescot (2 car.), Parr (ij car.),
Skelmersdale (i car.), Eccleston with Heskin (2 car.), Fishwick (i car.),
Halton (3 car.). Nether Burrow (3 car.), Over Burrow (3 car.). Leek (3 car.).
Vivian Gernet, the first recorded tenant of this serjeanty, married Emma,
daughter of Pain de Vilers, as already noted, and was living temp. Henry I. and
Stephen. He was probably the father of— (i) Roger Gernet, (2) Adam, and
(3) William, who had Lydiate from Pain de Vilers. Roger Gernet, the eldest
son, who is here named, was master serjeant from circa 1140 until after 1170,
in which year he was amerced by the justices itinerant in cos. Notts, and
Derby for a de^Eiult in connection with land which he held in Cropwell of the
Vilers (Fipe Roll Soc., 16 Henry II., p. 83). He was probably succeeded by

44 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

his brother (?) Adam Gemet, who gave lands in Haltoo to Fumess Abbey,
which Benedict Gemet, his son and heir confirmed. Benedict married Cecily,
daughter of Roger de Ilutton, of Hutton in Leyland Hundred, and died in
1206, his widow afterwards marrying Elias de Stiveton, of Steeton in Cimven.
Benedict's issue were — (i) William, (2) Roger, and (3) Vivian. William held
the forest fee but one year, and died in 1207 without' surviving issue male.
His widow Cecily, who had part of her dower in Fishwick, married secondly
William le Vilein {Lane. Fines, pt. I, p. 46). Roger, brother of William,
succeeded, paying a fine of 60 marks in 1207 for thb fee. He died 36 Henry
III., when an inquest was taken of his lands.

Vivian Gerneht gave to Robert Trauers iiij. carucates of

land and a half by the service of the third part of one

knight.

This fee comprised the manors of Whiston — with the church of Prescot —
Parr, and Skelmersdale. Henry Travers was the tenant at this time. He and
his son Adam were benefactors to Cockersand Abbey {Chartulary^ p. 603).

Benedict Gerneht, father of the aforesaid Roger, gave
ij. bovates to Guy de Stub by knight's service, where xxj.
carucates of land make the fee of one knight William,
his son, gave ij. bovates in Lecke to Margery, his sister, by
one pound of pepper yearly. The same William gave to
Osbert j. bovate in Lecke by one pound of pepper. Also .
the same William [written Idem Nowata], gave xxx. acres
in Altan to Gilbert, son of Orm, by rendering therefor
yearly certain spurs or iijrf.

All these grants were in the vill of Leek, in the parish of Tunstall. Osbert,
the grantee of one bovate here, was the father of Adam de Kellet, who gave
10 marks in 1194 to return to the King's allegiance {Lane, Pipe A*olls, p. 77).
In right of his wife Matilda, daughter of Ugbtred, the said Adam held i^
carucate in Over Kellet and i carucate in Bare, but died before the date of
this survey. Altan, now Old Town, is an estate in Leek lying to the S.W. of
the highroad between Ingleton and Kirkby Lonsdale. Gilbert, son of Orm
de Kellet, was possessed of a large estate in Over Kellet and elsewhere at this
time.

Geoffrey Arbalaster (the Crossbowman), holds vj. caru-
cates of land of the gift of the King, that is by the service
of two crossbows.

These carucates included the vills of Hackensall and Preesall in Amounder-
ness, which were first given to Geo£frey, the King's Crossbowman, when
John was Count of Mortain (Z^nr. Pipe Roils, p. 431). Geoffrey proffered

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 45

25 marks to the King for conHrmation of thb charter in 1202, and received
the following charter of confirmation : — ** Know that we have confirmed to
Geoffrey, our cross-bowman, for his homage and service, the whole land of
Presthoure and of Haucuncho with all the appurtenances by the free service of
two crossbows yearly for all service, as witnesseth our charter whilst we were
Count of Mortain" {Carta Antiqua^ Roll Y, no. 31). Geoffrey did not possess
the whole of these vills, for John, when Count of Mortain, had given 4 bovates
of the land given to Geoffrey to Hugh, father of Robert de Hackensail,
which the King confirmed as follows : — " Know that we have confirmed
to Robert de Haucunesheu four bovates of land in Presofh and in Haucunesheo,
as his father Hugh held [them], to hold to him and his heirs by the free service
of free serjeanty. We therefore will, &c., that he shall answer before none
respecting the same four bovates of land save before us or our justice {justitu^
or sheriff of Lancaster. We command that our bailiff and trusty men shall
protect and uphold him and all his possessions, as if our very own, as we
granted to him whilst we were Count of Mortain. Witnesses, Roger, bi^op
of St. Andrew ; Robert earl of Leicester, Earl David, &c. Given, &c., at
Chinon, 28th day of September, anno i'," 1199 {Charter Rolls, p. 24 b).

The burgesses of Preston hold iij. carucates of land in
Preston by charter of King John in free burgage by xv/.
(yearly].

The first known charter of liberties to Preston was granted by Henry II. in
1 179 {Ltuu. Pipe Rolls, p. 414). It was confirmed by John, when Count of
Mortain, but no copy of this confirmation appears to exist. Again King John
confirmed the charter as follows: "Know that we have confirmed to our
burgesses of Preston all the liberties and free customs which the lord Henry,
our father, gave and granted to the same burgesses and by his charter con-
firmed. We have also granted to the same burgesses of our own gift the
whole toll of the Wapentake of Aumundemesse, and their markets at Preston
at the Assumption of St. Mary to endure for viij. days (August I5th-22nd).
Moreover we have granted to them pasture of our forest which is called
Fulewde and of that forest as much as shall be needful for building their town
by view of our foresters. Wherefore we will and firmly command that the
aforesaid burgesses shall have and hold the beforenamed liberties and free
customs, as well those which our father gave them, as the others which we
have granted to them of our own gift, freely and quietly, fully and wholly,
peaceably and honourably, as freely as they ever, and more freely, had those
liberties in the time of King Henry, our father, and as the charter of the same
Henry and our charter which we made to them whilst we were Count of
Mortain, reasonably testify. Witnesses, Geoffrey archbishop of York, and
Herbert of Salisbury, and Roger of St. Andrew, bishops, &c. Given, &c., at
Chinon, loth day of October, anno i*," 1199 {Charter Rolls, p. 26 b).

The farm of 15/. had been fixed in 1179, including an increment of 61.
upon the ancient form of 9/., which latter sum seems to be a sufficiently large
sum to justify the supposition that Preston had been a burgh since the early
years of Henry I.

46 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

The heirs of Richard, son of Roger, hold ix. canicates
of land in thanage, wherefor they used to render yearly
iiij. marks. And the King by his charter released to the
house (ir>., priory) of Lithum viijj. iiijrf.

There is an inaccuracy in the amount of the service, which should read 3
marks. The thanelands which Richard, son of Roger, held, consisted of
Woodplumpton (4 car.) for 17^. 6d,, Lytham (2 car.) for 8j. lod. in addition
to the thanelands in Bootle (2 car. for Ss. &/.), and Formby (i car. for 41. StL)
already noticed.

The following is an abstract of Count John of Mortain*s charter — "John,
Count of Mortain, to all his men and friends, French and English, present and
to come, sendeth greeting. Know ye that I have granted to Richard, son of
Roger, my knight, that he may give two canicates of land, of the nine canicates
which he holds of me, to religious men wheresoever he will ; and expressly
those two canicates of land which he has in Lithun may he convert to religious
use (in religionem) by my &vour and assent, so also that I remit and pardon
the whole service which he owes to me for two canicates of land, if he converts
them to pure and perpetual alms. For the said Richard used to owe to me
xlr. yearly service for ix. canicates of land which he held of me, and of those
xb. so much as belongs to two canicates, that is viijj. xd,^ I pardon and remit
in pure and free alms to the religious house where he shall give and convert
them. Witnesses, Roger de Plasnes, Roger de Newbui^h, William de Bussei,

Walter, son of Osbert, holds in chief of the King x.
carucates of land in thanage, whereof the heirs of Geoffrey
de Barton hold ij. carucates ; and they render therefor to
the King iij. marks.

Walter son of Osbert was ancestor of the Cliftons of Westby. His thane-
lands consisted of Salwick and Clifton (3 car.), Fieldplumpton and Westby
(5 car.) and Barton (2 car.), the latter held by the son and heir of Geoflfrey de
Barton, ancestor of a family which continued here for many generations.

William de Wynewyc holds v. carucates of land in
thanage of the King, and renders therefor xxj. yearly.
And Robert, father of the aforesaid William, gave to
Huctred, son of Ucke, j. carucate of land for his homage
and service, which Alan, son of Richard, holds.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. 47

These thanelands comprised the manor of Thornton in Amoundemess with
its members, rated at 5 carucates for 20s. yearly —viz., Thornton (4 car.) i6s,,
one moiety of Steyna (i car.) 4s. Ughtred, son of Huck, was master serjeant
of Amoundemess, and father of Richard de Singleton. Alan de Singleton,
son of this Richard, succeeded to the canicate in Steyna after his father's
death in 121 1 {Pipe Rolls ^ p. 238), when he confirmed to Cockersand Abbey
the grant of William son of Swain, and Matilda, his wife, daughter of Ughtred,
son of Huck, of one bovate of land there {Charlulary, p. 136). This carucate
afterwards passed to the family of Banastre, by marriage with the heiress of
Singleton.

Peter de Stalmin holds iij. carucates of land in thanage
of the King by rendering xs. yearly, whereof Robert, his
father gave j. carucate of land to the monks of Furneis by
viijj. yearly for all [services]. And the same Robert gave
to Siward son of Ucke with his daughter in marriage vj.
bovates which his heirs hold. The same Robert gave to
Henry his son for his homage and service ij. bovates of
land which his heirs hold. The same Robert gave to Alan,
his son, for his homage and service ij. bovates which his
heirs hold.

These three carucates comprised the vills of Stalmine and Stainall. The
grant to Fumess was as follows — •* In the name of the Holy Trinity, I, Robert
de Stalmine and Peter, my son, for the love of God and the welfare of our soul,
have given, &c., to God, and the Abbey of St. Mary of Fumess, one carucate of
land which b called Corcola, in the vill of Stalmine, with all its appurtenances,
and with common of the whole vill in pasture, waters, meadows, and fisheries,
and other easements {adjumenta) which may be made there, on such compact
and condition that the monks of the said Abbey shall give me and my heirs
after me for ever each year 5/. Witnesses, Osbem son of Edmund {Eth'

Ulf ( Uluus) son of Uvieth, Robert Travers, William Garnet, junior, and Henry
son of this Robert, and Adelisa wife of Peter de Stalmine, who yielded this, of
whose dower was half the said carucate" {Duchy of Lane. Carta MisceL, III, 35).
The date of this charter lies between 11 60 and 11 70.

The heirs of Siward, son of Huck, were his sons Richard and Henry,
called " de Stainall," both living at this date. Henry de Stainall, son of
Robert de Stalmine, had three sons, Richard, Hamon a monk of Furness, and
^^^iam. Alan had a daughter Matilda, who married William Marshall of
Stalmine. All these various individuals are named in the Chartularies of the
Abbeys of Fumess and Cockersand, and of Lancaster Priory.

Elias de Hoton holds j. carucate of land of the King
in chief by viij.f. yearly, which Roger his father gave

48 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

in marriage with his daughter to Benedict Gerneth, which
she holds by the aforesaid service.

This was Middlehargh, now Medlar. Cecily, daughter of Roger de Hatton,
of Hutton in Ley land Hundred, after the death of her husband, Benedict
Gemet, gave this vill to the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. About the
year 1204, Robert the Treasurer, prior of the Hospital, gave it to Gilbert fits
Reinfred, who gave it to Cockersand Abbey, with the homage and service of
Adam de Comey, the tenant. These and other contemporary charters relating
to this place will be found in the Cockersand Chartulary^ pp. 168- 1 71, and
Lane, Pipe Rolisy pp. 440-2.

The heir of Roger de Heton holds ij. carucates and a
half of the King in thanage by xvij j. yearly.

This family took its name from Heaton-in-Lonsdale. Roger, son of
Augustine de Heaton, died in 1204. The year following, Henry de Redman
proffered 40 marks for wardship of Roger, son of the said Roger de Heaton,
and for licence to marry him to his daughter {Lane. Pipe Rolls ^ p. 209). These
thanelands comprised the manor of Bourn Hall in Thornton, in the parish of
Poulton-le-Fylde, rated at one carucate for los. yearly; the hamlet of West-
husum, now Wesham, in the parish of Kirkham, one carucate for 45., and the
manor of Grimsargh, half a carucate for y. In 1189, Roger de Heaton, the
elder, had a confirmation from John, Count of Mortain, of half a carucate in
Grimsargh, and four bovates in Wesham ; and in 1194, a confirmation from
Theobald Walter of one carucate in Wesham, for 4r. yearly (/5u/., p. 438).

The heirs of Robert son of Bernard hold xij. bovates of
land by xviij^. in thanage.

This estate was the manor of Goosnargh. Robert, son of Bernard, died in
1206, leaving issue three daughters and co-heirs — Ysolt, married to Richard,
son of Swain, who assumed the name of Catterall from his wife's pourparty ;
Beatrice, married to Hugh de Mitton of Great Milton, and Avice, married ^n/
to Oliver, son of Nigel de Longford, of co. Derby, secondly ^ to Michael de
Athelackeston (now Ellaston. Cockersand Chariulary^ p. 234 in notis). In
1206, the husbands of these co-heirs proffered 20 marks and a palfrey to be put
in seisin of this estate {Lane, Pipe Rolls ^ p. 209). Threlfall was a hamlet of
Goosnargh, and was probably included in this fee.

Alan son of Richard, and John de Billesburgh hold ij.
bovates of land of the King in chief by vjrf. yearly.

This was Billsborough, a small estate held in drengage. The yearly
service, although here stated as 6</., was actually 2j. Alan, son of Richard,
afterwards styled *' de Singleton " has been noticed already. John de Bills-
borough was a benefactor to Cockersand Abbey {Chartulary^ p. 262 et seq,).

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.a 1 212. 49

Henry de Holand holds iij, carucates and ij. bovates of
land of the King in chief by xxvjj". The same Henry
gave of the same tenement j. carucate of land to Roger
de Leicestre by [the service of] viijj. and iiij. arrows
yearly.

Henry de Holand was the ancestor of the Hoknds of DownhoUand, a
family not to be confounded with the Holands of Upholland. His estates
compris.ed Ribblelon, in the parish of Preston, Downholland and a moiety of
Earton» in the parish of Ha.l&ail| and Aintiee, in the parish of Sefton. The
manor of Ribbleton was rated at one carucate, the service being 8s. yearly.
Henry de Rihblcton died possessed of thi:i vill in 1201, leaving issue a leprous
son, and a daughter (Matilda?) whose wardship and marriage Henry de
Holand had purchased for io marks {Pipe Rolls^ p. 141), Afterwards he
granted the manor to Roger de Leicester, who held it at this time by the
service of 8j. and 4 arrows* The heiress he apparently married to Henry de
Fishwick, who with his said wife Matilda recovered the estate by Bne Levied
on the octave of St. Martin, 1202 {Final Concords^ pt. I, p. 21).

Robert son of Wranow holds ij. bovates of land in
marriage {de maritagid) by forinsec [service]. The same
Henry [de Holand] gave to Adam, his brother, ij. bovates
for his homage and by ijx.

By these infeudations a moiety of the hamlet of Barton had been granted
out of the demesne of the above fee. This moiety was rated at half a carucate,
the service being 4J. The other moiety was held of the barony of Warrington
*by Blundell of Ince, as already stated. Robert, son of Wrenow de Barton,
was a benefactor to Cockersand Abbey*

The same Henry [de Holand] gave to Alan de Holand
j. bovate of land and a half by xij^/. The same Henry gave
to Robert de Mulinas j, bovate of land by xiiij^. The same
Henry gave to Henry, son of Gilbert, iij. bovates of land hy
iijj. vj^. The same Henry gave to Hawise, daughter of
Richard, ij. bovates in free service by \]s. v}d. The same
Henry gave to the Abbey of Kokersand j. cultivation in
alms. The same Henry gave to the Hospital of Chester j.
acre in alms. The same Henry gave to the Hospital of
Jerusalem ij. acres in alms.

It b probable that the bulk of these grants were of lands in Aintree, which
in Domesday was probably involved in Walton, as part of the ancient demesne
of West Derby. It was rated at one carucate, the service being 8j. Henry,
son of Gilbert, may perhaps be identified as the ancestor of the family of

so LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Ayntre, who long flourished here. The land given to Cockersand was also in
this vill, and is fiilly described by its boundaries in the Chartulary^ p. 631.
Downholland was rated at 6 bovates, the service being 6x. The grant to the
Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem was in Haskayne, a hamlet of Downholland,
as proved by the Rotuli de quo warranto^ and by the rental of the possessions
of the Hospital made about 1540, which gives the foUovring details: — "In
Haskyn. Of Thomas Halsal, knight, for one messuage, \2d. Of Thomas Has-
kyn for one messuage, 6^. Of Thomas Halsal, knight, and Robert Botil for
one messuage, 6^. Of Thomas Halsal, knight, for a messuage acquired from
David Holand, 2^."

Swain de Hudersale holds ij. bovates of land of the King
in chief by charter of the lord King John, by [the service
of] VJ.

King John's charter of Hothersall, here referred to, is as follows : — " Know
that we have confirmed to Swain, son of Robert de Hudereshale, for his ser-
vice the land of Hudereshale, that is two bovates with all its appurtenances, to
hold to him and his heirs in free thanage by the service of vj. yearly for all
service to be done, as we granted it to him whilst we were Count of Mortain.
Witness as above in county Lancaster and given by the same." The attesta-
tion referred to was by those who witnessed other Lancashire charters at
Chinon, October loth, anno l%" 1199 {Charter RolU^ p. 27). The family of
Hothersall were long possessed of this manor.

Thomas de Burnul holds half a carucate of land in chief

by \\\]s.

This estate was Alston, rated at half a carucate, the service 41. Thomas de
Bumhull was lord of Brindle, in Leyland Hundred.

The heir of Arthur de Eston holds j. carucate of land in

chief by charter of the lord King John by xs.

Ashton-on-Ribble, in the parish of Preston, included the hamlets of Ingol
and Tulketh. King John's charter, here referred to, ran as follows : — '* Know
that we have confirmed to Arthur de E^ton and his heirs one carucate of land
in Eston, and in Tulket and in Ingole, to hold to him and his heirs in free
thanage by the free service of xx. yearly for all service and custom, as we
granted to him whilst we were Count of Mortain. Witnesses, &c., at Chinon,
loth day of October, anno I^" 1 199 {Charier Rolls, p. 26 b). Elsewhere the
tenure of this manor is described as drengage.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 5 1

Drengages [or Lands of Drengs] *
The men of Hamelton hold iij. carucates of land by
xxiiijj. yearly.

HambletOD, in the parish of Kirkham, was originally a manor of the royal
demesne and as such was tallaged in 1 177 and 1206, with other members of
the royal demesne. It had been put to form to the men dwelling there at the
assized rent of 24s., and was said to be held in drengage at the time of this
inquest. In 1 201, the assized rent or farm of 24s. yearly was increased to 48J.,
the farm of many other demesne manors being increased at the same time.
In this instance the increase is recorded for one year only. About this time
William de Pilkington had the manor to farm during the King's pleasure, but
in 121 5 it was delivered to William Colmore in accordance with the King's
writ dated June i8th, 1213 {Pipe Rolhy p. 253). The sum allo^d to the
Sheriff in reduction of the charge upon his accounts was only 24J. yearly.
There appears to have been some ownership of land here by the lords of
Hackensall and Preesall. In the latter part of the reign of Henry III., John,
son of Geoffrey Arbalaster, gave two bovates of land here to Lancaster Priory,
and Geoffrey, son and heir of John de Hackensall, released his right therein
{Register of Lane, Priory^ pp. 377-8).

Adam, son of Eilsi, and Alan, son of Hagemund, hold
j. canicate of land in drengage by vj. yearly.

This appears to be the other moiety of Steinhol or Staynolf, now Steyna,
in the parish of Poulton le Fylde, which has been surveyed under the manor of
Thornton in Amoundemess. It must not be confused with Stainall, across the
Wyre, in the parish of Lancaster. The latter was called Parva Staynolf, or by
the canons of Cockersand Staynole citra Wyre. The former, i.e., the two
moieties of Steyna, was called Staynole ultra Wyre.

Richard and Girard hold j. carucate of land in drengage
by vjj. [yearly service].

Wray, or ** The Wray," was formerly a hamlet of the demesne manor of
Rigby. Ribby with Wray is now a joint township, in the parish of Kirkham.
Both Richard de Wray and Gerard his brother were benefactors to Cocker-
sand Abbey {Chartulary^ p. 229. Cf, Pipe Rolls^ p. 132).

Gillemichael de Halicton holds ij. bovates of land in
drengage by ijj. [yearly service].

Haighton in the parish of Preston, is variously written Halicton, Halechton,
Halgton, Haighton, and Haulton, as different scribes have endeavoured to
express in writing the strong spirate sound of Halgh. This manor was

• Ice/, drengr, a young, or brave man. Said to be a term of purely Scandi-
navian origin.

52 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

originally royal demesne, and in 1201 the assized rent or farm was increased
by I2d. yearly {Pipe Rolls ^ p. 130). Gillemichael was succeeded by Richard,
probably his son, in the early part of Henry III.'s reign. In the latter part of
that reign Adam, son of Ughtred, appears to have held the manor {Cockerstmd
Chartulary^ p. 228).

Brocton, j. canicate of land is in the hand of the King,
and renders yearly vj. marks.

Broughton, in the parish of Preston, was also a manor of the demesne,
until bestowed by William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, upon Ughtred,
son of Huck {Pipe Rolls ^ p. 430). Richard de Singleton,^ son of the said
Ughtred, had been dispossessed by Theobald Walter, and King John was like-
wise keeping Alan de Singleton, son of the said Richard, out of seisin. Sub-
sequently Henry III. restored the manor to Alan.

Rossall is in the hand of the King with its stock,
whereA*the sheriff answers.

The pasture of Rossall appears to have been a member of the forest of
W)rresdale. It was worth 5/. yearly in 5 Henry III. King John gave it to
Dieulacress Abbey at the instance of Ranulf Blundevill, earl of Chester and
Lincoln {Close Rolls ^ Record Com., 5 Henry III., tn 16 tbrso). On April
2 1st, 1228, the King sent his mandate to the sheriff of Lancaster that he
should not interfere with the abbot of Dieulacress in having his sheep and
other animals in the pasture of Roshile until the quindene of the Nativity of
St. John the Baptist following {Ibid,, 1227-31, p. 35). On July 12th following,
the King directed the sheriff of Lancaster to put the abbot and monks in
seisin of the land of Roshale {Ibid, p. 62).

Alan, son of Richard, holds half a carucate of land in
Singelton by serjeanty of the Wapentake of Aumundimes.

Oreat and Little Singleton were rated in 1066, and at the date of Domes-
day, at 6 carucates. Henry I. reduced them to four. Of these, 28 bovates in
Great and Little Singleton were of the royal demesne and were held in bond-
age ; the remaining 4 bovates, lying in Little Singleton, were held by Alan de
Singleton, by performing the office of master serjcant of the Wapentake.

Robert Gredle holds the fees of xij. knights in the
county of Lancaster within the Lyme and without.

Robert (Jrelley's fees comprised 5} fees in Lancashire, and the following
6i fees elsewhere within the Honour : —

(i.) Lincolnshire. — In Kirton in Lindsey, which was the land of the
King in Domesday, Robert Grelley held the town of Swineshead in 1212, by
the service of one knight's fee. In Sixhills, which was soke of Hainton,
Count Roger, the Poitevin, had 2 car. ij bov. in Domesday. In the Lindsey

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. S3

Survey (1115-8) Stephen, Count of Mortain, had 2 car. 3 bov. in Sixla (Six-
hills). In 1 2 12 Robert Grelley held this manor /or half a knight's fee. In
Canwick and Bracebridge Count Roger had 2 car. in Domesday, which Emuin
held, and i car. in Branswick (?). In 121 2, Robert Grelley had half a fee here.

(2.) Nottinghamshire.— In Cotgrave Count Roger had 3 car. in Domes-
day. In 1 21 2 the abbot of Swineshead held this land for one knight's fee of
Robert Grelley.

(3.) Suffolk. — In Willaluesham (Willisham) Count Roger had 2 car. in
Domesday, which Albert [Grelley] held under him. In 1212, Robert Grelley
held one knight's fee here. In Little Blakenham Count Roger had i^ car. in
Domesday, which the same Albert [Grelley] held under him. In 121 2, Robert
Grelley had one- fourth part of a knight's fee here. In Resebi (Risby) Count
Roger had 2 car. of land in Domesday. In 1212, Robert Grelley had one
knight's fee here. In Alnesbrunna ( Almesbum) Count Roger had one carucate
of land in Domesday, which Albert [Grelley] held under him. In 12 12,
Robert Grelley had the fourth part of a knight's fee here.

(4.) Norfolk.— In Spikesuurda (Spixworth) Count Roger had 2 car. in
Domesday, which Albert [Grelley] held under him ; and in Tunesteda
(Tunstall) Count Roger had 5i car. in Domesday, which the same Albert
[Grelley J held under him. In 1 21 2, Robert Grelley held it for one knight's fee.

Mahthew {sic) son of William, and Roger, son of William,
hold the fee of one knight of Robert Gredle in Wythinton
of ancient time, and ought to find j. judge for. the King {et
debunt invenirej, Judicem domino Regi),

The first recorded lord of Withington under the Grelleys was William, son
of Wulfrith de Withinton, who deraigned four bovates in Chorlton-upon-Med-
lock by wager of battle against Gospatric de Chorleton. He was the father of
Matthew de Hathersage, and Roger, his brother, who held this fee at the date
of the inquest. Part of their service consisted in finding a doomsman or judge
to do suit at the King's hundred court of Sal ford, and at Grelley 's court baron
of Manchester.

Gilbert de Notton holds with the lady of Barton the fee
of one knight and a half of the same [Robert Gredle].

Bxlith, lady of Barton, was the daughter of Matthew, son of Leysing de
Barton,* and probably his sole heir, for although she appears to have had

* Similarity of name, if nothing more, suggests the possibility that Matthew
de Barton, son of Leising, whose daughter Exlith must have been married
before 1180, may have been the son of that Leising, son of Leising, who is
named in the Pipe Roll of 31 Henry I. (1129-30), as one of the men of
Stephen, Count of Mortain, of the land between the Ribble and the Mersey,
in conjunction with his brother Swain, son of Leising ; and further that Elias,
son of Lessi (Leising ?), who was amerced for an offence against the forest in
24 Henry II. (i 177-8) may be identified as Elias, father of Richard de
Worsley, tenant of Worsley and Hulton at the date of this inquest, and possibly
a younger brother of Leising de Barton.

three sisters, there is no evidence that they left issue {Pipe Rolls^ p. 96).
Edith married first Augustine, called **de Barton," but of what fiunily or
locality is unknown. By him, who died before 1 196, she had issue a son,
John de Barton, who predeceased her, and a daughter Cecily. She married
secondly Gilbert de Notton, a knight holding lands in Yorkshire under the
honour of Pontefract, and in Lancashire under the Montbegons, whose eldest
son William had married Edith de Barton's daughter and heir, Cecily. Their
son, Gilbert de Barton, succeeded to his grandmother's estates upon her death
in 1222 {Final Cofuords, pt. I, p. 88 in ttclis). The lands for which the above
service of one knight's fee and a half was due included the demesne of Barton
and Eccles, Dumplington, Famworth, Westhoughton, Aspull, Haliwell, and
Heaton-under-Horwich— one knight's fee (see the extent of 1282 Afame'
cestre^ pp. 135-7) ; and the hamlets of Irwilham (now Irlam), Hulme (now
Davyhulme), Bromehurst, Neweham (Newliall ?), Wythinton (now Winton),
Maunton (now Monton), and Wykeleswyke (now TrafTord Park) — half a
knight's fee.

And Thomas de Withinton holds the fee of half a
knight of the same Robert [Greslet] of ancient time.

Perhaps Withinton has here been mis-written for Worthington. This half
fee comprised the townships of Worthington (2 car.) and Coppul (i car.), in
the parish of Standish, perhaps also Ileaton-under-Horwich. Thomas de
Worthington * was ancestor of a long line of lords of these two manors.

Richard, son of Robert, holds v. carucates of land and
a half of the same [Robert Greslet], that is in Childewalle
iij. carucates of land, and in Aspul j. carucate, in Turton j.
carucate, in Brochole half a carucate, where vj. carucates
of land and a half make the fee of j. knight Roger de
Samelesbire and Alexander hold the sixth carucate in
Harewode of the aforesaid knight's fee.

Richard, son of Robert de Lathom, was the holder of the greater part of
this mixed fee. Some years later AUerton, in the parish of Childwall was
included in this fee, which was then further modified by division into moieties,
one of which comprised Childwall and Allerton {Final Concords^ pt. I, p. 91
in notis ; Cockersand Chartulary^ p. 695 in nolis).

Harwood, in the parish of Bolton-le- Moors, was held in moieties by Alex-
ander de Harwood — who performed suit of court at Manchester for the same —
and Roger de Samlesbury.

* It is possible that the name ** de Withington " may be quite correct, and
that Thomas de Worthington may have married one of the four daughters
and co-heirs of Matthew, son of Lcising de Barton, and so have received
a fourth part of the said Matthew's fee— viz., the vills of Worthington and
Coppul (cf. Lane, Pipe Rolh^ p. 96). If he was a cadet of the family
which held Withington, he would, after marriage, exchange that name for
Worthington.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 212. 55

Albert Gredle, setiex, gave the fee of one knight to Orm,
son of Ailward, in marriage with Emma, his daughter, that
is in Dalton, and Perbold, and Wrictinton. The heirs of
that Orm hold the aforesaid land.

Albert Grelley, the eldest, was the father of Robert Grelley, whose name
occurs in the Lindsey Survey, circa 1 1 15-8. It is probable that this fee,
situate in Leyland Hundred, somewhat remote from Manchester, had been
given to Albert Grelley by Henry I. upon the creation of the Honour of Lan-
caster, and that the said Albert had subsequently bestowed it upon Orm, son
of Ailward, with other estates upon the latter's marriage to his daughter.
Proof that Orm, son of Ailward, was ancestor in a direct line of Kirkby, of
Kirkby-Irleth in Fumess, has been given in Lane. Pipe Rolls y pp. 403 et seqq.

During the century preceding this inquest numerous infeudations had been
made by the Kirkbys in these three manors, some possibly as gifts in frank
marriage. So far as we have been able to obtain particulars, these manors
were probably held as follows in 1212 : — Dalton— Richard, son of Robert de
Lathom ; Henry, son of Bernard de Parbold (probably first cousin of Richard de
Lathom), Richard de Orell, and Richard le Waleys of Uplitherland, each one
fourth part. Parbold— Henry, son of Bernard de Parbold, and Roger, son of
Henry (de Lathom?), each a moiety. Wrightington— Roger, son of
William de Kirkby, the heirs of Robert, son of Bernard de Goosnargh, Roger,
son of Orm de Ashton (sometimes called Roger de Wrightington and some-
times Roger de Burton), and Richard, son of Robert de Lathom, each one
fourth part.

Alexander de Pilkinton holds of Robert Gredle the
fourth part of the fee of j. knight, and [by finding] j. judge
for the King, of ancient tenure.

In the Pipe Roll of 1 185, reference is made to William, son of Alexander,
apparently of Salford Hundred, and to Alexander, son of Alexander. A
William de Pilkington had been farmer of Hambleton before the date of this
inquest, and at this time Alexander de Pilkington was lord of Pilkington.
The coincidence of these names may perhaps justify the conjecture that there
had been an Alexander de Pilkington, senior, lord of Pilkington, before the
Alexander of 1212, It is perhaps not unreasonable to conjecture further from
the reference to the service of doomsman or judge due to the King's Hundred
Court of Salford by the lord of Pilkington and from the small amount of
the knight's service to be done for this fee, that we have an instance, as
apparently in the case of Knowsley and Roby, of a preconquest family, con-
tinuing in possession of thanelands after the Norman invasion under a different
tenure.

Albert Gredle, y»2/^;//.f, gave to Thomas de Perepount
iij. carucates of land in Ruwinton and Lostoc by the fee of
the third part of j. knight. [His] heirs hold that land.

S6 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Many subsequent entries prove that Ruwinton has here been mis-written for
Rumworth, a member of the fee of Manchester, which neither Rivington nor
Royton were. Albert Grelley, younger, was father of Robert Grelley, and
held the fee of Manchester from about 1162 to 1179-80. Thomas de Pierre-
pont bore a name also held by a family holding a knight^s fee of the Bishop
of Lincoln in Lincolnshire. Richard de Pierreix>nt was probably the tenant at
the date of this inquest.

Robert Gredle, who now is, gave to Robert de Burie,
senior, xiiij. bovates of land of his demesne of Mamecestre
by the service of half a knight. His heirs hold that land.

Again the scribe has blundered in recording the name of the grantee of this
fee. It is however easy to prove that the recipient was Robert de Burun, the
elder, and the estate that of Clayton, in the parish of Manchester (i car.),
Droilsden (4 bov.), and one moiety of Failsworth (2 bov.). This grant by
Robert Grelley was probably made soon after 1194, when he attained his
majority and succeeded to his father's estates. In a charter recently referred
to in a paper upon ** The Barony of Grelley " {Lane, and Ches. Historic Sac.,
xvii, N,S., p. 41), Robert Grelley grants to Robert de Burun two bovates in
Failsworth, and releases the rent of that land and lands in Tunstall. county
Norfolk, to make up the service of half a knight's fee, together with the land
which de Burun held of him in Clayton and elsewhere. At the date of this
inquest, Richard de Burun, son and heir of Robert the elder, held Cla\ton
and Droilsden, and Robert, the younger, brother of Richard, held Failsworth.
This descent, we are aware, is not in accordance with that given in the
accepted pedigrees of the family of Byron of Clayton, but the evidence of
charters amongst the de Trafford muniments, and in the Byron Chartulary
{TowneUys AfS.) strongly supports our statement, that Richard de Byron was
eldest son and heir of Robert de Byron, senior, first grantee of Clayton.

The same Robert gave to Ralph de Einecote ij. bovates
of land of his demesne of Mamecestre by vis. viijd^. yearly.

The charter granting " the whole land of Ancoats " to Ralph de Ancoats
for half a mark yearly service is printed in full in the paper on " The Barony
of Grelley," just mentioned. The date probably lies before 1200.

Albert Gredle gave to Robert de Bracebrugge ij. bovates
of land of his demesne of Mamecestre by iiij.y. yearly. His
heirs hold that land.

It is possible that this was the land subsequently known as Claydenfield
and Doggefield, which Robert Grelley held in 1320 {Mamecestre^ p. 310).

Albert Gredle, senior, gave to Wluric de Mamecestre
iiij. bovates of land of his demesne by vs. yearly. His heirs
hold that land.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. S7

Wolfric de Mamecestre, elsewhere called " the clerk," was probably Albert
Grelley*s official. This grant, made between 1154-62, may have been the
estate of Nuihurst in Moston, or the reputed manor of Clayden in Manchester.

Albert Gredle gave iiij. bovates of land of his demesne
to the church of Mamecestre in alms.

Domesday Survey points to the original endowment of the church of
Manchester having been half a canicate. There is no doubt that the gift made
by Albert Grelley II. (1154-62) was Kirkman's Hulme, a hamlet in the town-
ship of Newton.

Albert Gredde, juvenis, gave to William le Norreys ij.
canicates of land in Heton by xj. His heirs hold that
land.

This was of course Heaton Norris, which Richard le Norreys and Jordan
his brother held in 1 196 {Final Concords, pt. I, p. 6), as they probably did at
the date of this inquest.

The same Albert gave to Alexander, son of Uuieth ij.
bovates of land in Little Lefre by half a mark and xijd^.
or j. hawk {nisus), [His] heirs hold that land.

As in the preceding entry, this grant was made by Albert Grelley III.
(1162-11S0). William de Radcliffe was probably in possession of I^ittle
Lever at the date of this inquest, as Adam, his son, certainly was in 1227
{Final Concords, pt. I, p. 47). In Alexander, son of Uvieth, we may possibly
have the father of William de Radcliffe of Radcliffe.

Albert Gredle, senior, gave to Orm, son of Eiward, with
his daughter Emma in marriage j. carucate of land in
Eston by xj. yearly. The heirs of this Orm hold that
land.

This carucate comprised one moiety of Ashton-under-Lyne. Roger, son of
William de Kirkby, was mesne tenant here at this time, being great-grandson
of Orm, whose son and heir, Roger, son of Orm, had received a grant of " all
the land of Ashton" from Albert Grelley II. (1154-62, Lane. Pipe Rolls,
p. 403). It can hardly be doubted that senex should have been written here
for senior after the grantor's name. The inquest appears to have overlooked
the grant of the other moiety of Ashton to Roger, son of Orm. Nor is mention
made of the fact that Thomas, son of Orm de Ashton, was tenant under Kirkby
at the time of the inquest.

The same Albert gave to Henry, son of Siward j.
carucate of land in Flixton by xj. [His] heir holds that
land.

S8 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Here Albert Grelley II. {senior ^ 1154-62) is no doubt meant. W^th this
carucate was included the church of Flixton, to which, before 1 198-1208,
Henry, son of Siward, had last presented {Pipe Rolls^ p. 355). At this time
Henry, son of Bernard de Parbold, was tenant under Robert Grelley. Roger,
son of Henry (his cousin?), who held jointly with him at the earlier date
mentioned, ^'as dead, and Henry was in all probability his heir here as in
Parbold.

Albert Gredle, junior, gave to Elias de Pennilbure
Sliuehale by xijrf. or by j. sor hawk {nisus sorrus) yearly.
The same Elias holds that land.

Over the name of this estate our scribe has again blundered badly, having
written Sliuehale for Smithale, later Smithell. This land was held by Elias
son of Robert de Pendlebury at the date of this inquest. In 1320 Robert de
Pendlebury held Smythell for one sparrow-hawk or \2d, {Mamecestre^ p. 290).
He apparently descended from a younger sod of the family of Pendlebury of
Pendlebury. The elder line failed about the end of the reign of Edward I.,
having conveyed their estates of Pendlebury and Wickleswick to Adam de
Prestwich {cf. Lane, Final Concords, pt. II, p. 133 in notis).

The same Albert gave to Robert, son of Henry, ij.
bovates of land in Milafosharh by iijj. The heir of this
[Robert] holds that land.

By misreading an as miy our scribe has got the above fuitastic reading for
Anlafeshargh, now Aniezargh, or as some uncritical Lancashire cartologists
have set it down— Anglezark, in the parish of Bolton-le-Moors. The grantor,
Robert de Lathom, was son and successor of Henry fitz Siward, grantee of
Flixton from Albert Grelley II. (1154-62), who was father of the grantor of
this estate — viz., Albert Grelley III. (1162-80). Richard, son of Robert, de
Lathom held it at the date of the inquest {Final Concords, pt. I, p. ii).

Roger de Samelisbure and Alexander de Harewode
hold j. bovate of land in Charples by iijj. of Robert
Gredle.

Sharpies, in the parish of BoUon-le-Moors, was held by Roger de Sarnies-
bury and Alexander de Harwood in moieties, as they also held Harwood, in
the same parish. This joint ownership is suggestive of acquisition by marriage,
or by inheritance from the respective mothers of these tenants.

Albert Gredle gave to the monks of Swinehauh[ed] in
alms j. croft, which is called Wythacres.

Swineshead Abbey in co. Lincoln, was of the foundation of Robert Grelley
and Albert II., his son, in the year 1 148. Amongst numerous endowments
given by them, in addition to the site at Swineshead, in Cotgrave, Bloxham

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. I2I2. 59

and Hainton, was the mill of Mamcestre {Monasticon^ v, p. 337). Albert
Grelley's grant of Wythacres, made between 11 54-1 162, was in the following
terms — ** Be it known to all the sons of holy mother church that I Albert
Greley and my heirs have given that land nigh Manecestria which is called
Whithacres, which Ralph Greley held of Robert Greley, my father, with all
the appurtenances in feeding grounds and other things, to God and St. Mary
and the abbey of St. Saviour, and the monks serving God there in Swynes-
heued, in pure and perpetual alms for the souls of my father and mother and
parents, and for myself, my wife and my heirs. This said land Richard de
More and his heirs shall hold of the aforesaid abbey by rendering yearly xij</.
at the feast of St. Botulph. These being witnesses, Seffrey brother of Abbert
Greslei, Gilbert the chaplain, William the clerk of Wiketoft. Walter de Herlaf,
Robert de Ncuill, Henry Hawtein, Geoflfrey de Buceton, Ralph de Bobi,
Ernard de Coleuil, Baldewin the chamberlain, and many others" (from a
copy made temp. Edw. II., amongst the de Trafford muniments). In the
Survey of 1320 this close is thus described — ** Whyteacre containeth xviij. acres
of land in Mancestre. It belongs to the abbot of Swynesheade in pure alms."
Its locality has not been discovered.

Robert Gredle who now is gave to Ace, the clerk, one
land {una terra) of his demesne of Mamecestre by iijj.
[yearly]. The same Ace holds that land.

This land cannot be satis£eu:torily identified. It is probable that it es-
cheated to the chief lord at a date subsequent to that of this inquest.

Roger de Montebegon holds the fees of viij. knights
within the Lyme and without.

A somewhat fuller statement of Roger de Montbegon's fees will be found
hereafter. The following were the fees which he held outside the county,
but within the honour of Lancaster, at the date of this inquest : —

(I.) Lincolnshire.— In Thonock (Tunec) and Wharton (Warton) Count
Roger had i} car in Domesday. In the Lindsey Survey (11 15-8), Stephen,
Grant of Mortain, had 6 car. of land in Thorpe (Torp), Thonock (Tuneac) and
Dunstal! (Tonstal), which Roger de Montbegon held under him. In 121 2,
Roger de Montbegon held Thonock in demesne. In Southorpe (Torp), Count
Roger had 6 bov. in Domesday. Roger de Montbegon held it of the Count of
Mortain in 11 15-8. Roger de Montbegon's ancestors gave to the monks of
Revesby in alms 19 bov. and a messuage in Southorpe, &c. ( Testa de Nevill,
pi 407 b). In Northorpe (Torp) Count Roger had i^ car. and in another
Thorpe 2 bov., and in Yawthorpe (Loletorp) \ car. in Domesday. In 1 1 15-8
Roger de Montbegon held these as above. In 121 2, Roger de Montbegon had
half a knight's fee here. In Dunstall (Tonestele) Count Roger had i car.
2 bov. in Domesday, which Roger de Montbegon held under the Count of
Mortain in 11 15-8. In 1212 Roger de Montbegon held it in demesne. In
Tydd Gout (Tite) Count Roger had 2 car. i bov. in Domesday. In 121 2,
Roger de Montbegon had one knight's fee here. In Tealby (Tavelesbi) Count

6o LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

Roger had i} car. in Domesday, which Roger [de Montbegon] his man held,
which also Roger de Montbegon held under the Count of Mortain in 1115-S.
Roger de Montbegon probably held this land in demesne in 12 12. In South
Kelsey (Colesi) Count Roger had 3 car. in Domesday which Roger [de Mont-
begon] the Count's man held. The Count of Mortain had 4 car. 4 bov. in
South Kelsey (Cheleseia) and Thornton le Moor (Tomtuna) in 1115-S, which
Roger de Montbegon held under him. In 1212, Roger de Montbegon had one
knight's fee and the ninth part of a fee in these places. In Thornton le Moor
(Torentun) Count Roger had 13 bov. in Domesday, which Roger de Montbegon
held as above in 1 1 15-8. In 12 12 Roger de Montbegon had the sixth part of a
knight's fee here. In Holton le Moor (Hoctun) Count Roger had i car. in
Domesday, which R(^er [de Montbegon], the Count's man, held under him.
In 1 1 15-8, the Count of Mortain had i car. in Holton le Moor (Houtuna)
which Roger de Montbegon held. In 12 12, Roger de Montbegon had
one knight's fee here which Richard (?) de Houton held under him.
In Nettleton (Neteltone) Count Roger had 5 bov. in Domesday which his man
Blancard held under him ; in Elsham (Elcsham) 9 bov. which Ernui held
under the Count ; in Clixby (Clachesbi) 5 bov., and in Housham (Vsun)
including the Hall of Cadney (Catenai) 4 car. Stephen, Count of Mortain,
had in Nettleton 5 bov., Elsham x car. 2 liov., Clixby 4 bov., and Housham 4
bov., in 1 1 15-8, which Roger de Montbegon held under him. In 12 12, Roger
de Montbegon h.^d half a knight's fee in these places, which William Blan-
chard, or Richard his son, held of him. Roger had also the sixth part of a
fee in Housham. In Laughton, near Gainsborough (Lastone), Count Roger
had i^ car. in Domesday, which his man Blanchard held under him, and
another 10 Ixjv. held by sockmen. The Count of Mortain had 2 car. 6 bov.
here in 1115-8, which Roger de Montbegon held under him. In 1212, Roger
de Montbegon had half a knighi's fee here, which William Blanchard held of
him. In Blyton (Blitone) Count Roger had 2 bov. in Domesday, which Roger
de Montbegon held of the Count of Mortain in 1 1 15-8. In 1212 these bovales
were probably included in Blanchard's half fee in Laughton. These parti-
culars add to a little over 4^ knights' fees. About 30 years later the number
was given as SJ fees.

(2.) Suffolk. — In Monewden (Mangedena et Mungedena) Count Roger
had 5 car. in Domesday, which Roger de Montbegon held in 1212.

Within the Lyme Adam de Buri holds the fee of one

knight of ancient tenure.

This fee included the greater portion of the parish of Bury, rated at 4 cam-
cates, reduced from one hide by Henry I. — i.^., the vill of Bury with the church,
and the ancient hamlets of Klton, Heap, Walmersley, and Shuttleworth. The
family of Bury had probably held this fee at least from the time of Henry I.,
possibly from pre-conquest limes, the tenure of thanagc giving place to military
tenure to provide the quota of knights' service required from the honour of
Count Roger, the Poitevin, and later from the honour of Lancaster.

Roger de Midelton holds the fee of j. knight of ancient
tenure.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. I2I2. 6l

This was the fee of Middleton, embracing the parish of Middleton — i.e.,
the vill of that name with the church, and the ancient hamlets of Ainsworth,
Ashworth, Birkhill (now Birtle), Bamford, Hopwood, Pilsworth, Thomham,
and Great Lever. Here, too, perhaps, the ancestors ot Roger de Middleton
had held this manor before the conquest.

The predecessors of Roger de Montebegon gave to the
ancestors of Gilbert de Notton xij. bovates of land by the
service of the fourth part of j. knight. Gilbert de Notton
holds that land.

This was the vill of Chadderton with Foxdenton. The pedigree of the
de Notton £uni]y presents some peculiarities. Gilbert de Notton first occurs
in 1 185, in reference to an agreement which he made with Richard de Eland.
In 1202, he and William de Notton, his son, contributed to the third scutage
of King John and to the aid levied that year, in respect of their thanelands
{Pipe Rolls, pp. 55, 152). About 1200, William de Notton married Cecily,
daughter and ultimately heir of Edith, Lady of Barton, who shortly after
married Gilbert de Notton, father of the said William. Cecily died before her
mother, so that upon the decease of Edith de Barton early in 1222, Gilbert de
Notton, son of William, by Cecily, daughter of the said Edith by her first
husband, Augustine de Barton, succeeded to the manor of Barton. The heir
of Gilbert de Notton here named was Gilbert, his eldest son and heir, who
married Margery, daughter of Hugh de Eland. (This Margery, who had been
dowered by Gilbert de Notton of 2 car. in Wodehusum and 2 bov. in Farnley,
afterwards married Sir Baldwin le Tyas, </. Fiftal Concord, 20 Hen. III.,
Vorks., in Yorks, Arch, Journal, vii, p. 131 et in notis.) The said Gilbert
and Margery had issue Roger de Notton, who died in 1241, possessed of Silk-
stone, Farnley Tias, and Woodsome, leaving issue a daughter and heir
Christiana, married to William Heron, from whom descended the lords Darcy
{Hunter's Deanery of Doncctster, ii, 391). Of Gilbert de Notton, afterwards
known as Gilbert de Barton, more will be noted hereafter.

Adam de Prestwych holds iiij. bovates of land in
Alkinton by iiij j. of ancient tenure.

The manor of Alkrington descended in the family of Presftwich, lords of the
neighbouring manor of Prestwich.

Adam de Montebegon gave to Eward de Buri iiij.
bovates of land in Totinton with Aliz his daughter in
marriage. And now William de Penieston holds that land
with Cecily, daughter of the aforesaid Aliz.

The identity of this estate is not quite clear, but it is highly probable that
it was acquired by, or escheated to, the lords of Tottington, and represented
one moiety of the demesne of Tottington, of which Henry de Lacy, earl of
Lincoln, died seised in 131 1. William de Penniston was no doubt a tenant of
the Constable of Chester, in Yorkshire.

62 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

Roger de Montebegon gave to John Malerbe, his brother,

X. carucates and vj. bovates of land in Croston with the

appurtenances in knight's service.

The Chartulary of Monkbrelton shows that John Malherbe, the elder,
married Maud, widow of Adam de Montbegon, and one of the two daughters
and co-heirs of Adam fitz Swain, by whom he had issue — John Malherbe, the
younger (the grantee of Croston from his half-brother Roger de Montbegon,
son of the said Adam), Mabel, married to Geoffrey de Nevill, and Qementia,
married to Eudo de Lungvilers. This correction in the genealogy of the
descendants of Adam fitz Swain has been discovered by the late Mr. Richard
Holmes, editor of the Pontefract Chartulary ( Yorks, Record Soc), in a gene-
alogy contained in the Chartulary (folio 85). As this correcte<l descent upsets
many previous versions of the descent of the estates of Adam fitz Swain and of
the Montbegon family, we may be pardoned for bringing together in these
notes a few references from the Public Records bearing upon the matter, (i.)
On December 29th, 1229, Henry III. sent his mandate to the sheriff of
Lincoln to permit Geoffrey de Nevill and Mabel, his wife [who had one moiety
of a knight's fee in Appelby, formerly John Malherbe's], to repay by yearly
instalments of 3 marks, the sums of 7 marks 3;. 4^ of the loan of Poitiers, and

10 marks 31. 4^. of the loan of Ireland, which King John had made to John
Malherbe, uncle {avunculus) of the said Mabel {Fifte Roll Excerpts^ I, p. 192).
(2.) In a dispute as to the presentation to the church of Penistone in

11 Henry III. (1226-7), the jury found "that one John, son of Swain, who
had the advowson of the whole church, sold the mediety of that advowson to
William de Nevill, father of Sarra, who was mother of the said Thomas
[de Burgh, who was claiming the advowson against Richard de Alencun],
whose (1.^., Sarra*s) heir the said Thomas was, and by reason of that purchase,
Swain, formerly husband of the said Sarra, presented ; and the other mediety
the said John sold to Roger de Montebegon, whose heirs the wives of
Eudo de Lungvillers and Geoffrey de Nevill were. It was therefore con-
sidered that Thomas should recover his presentation,'* &c. {Curia Regis RolU
no. 97, w. 14). (3.) After the death of Roger de Montbegon in 1226,
Henry de Monewcden, great-grandson of Agnes, only sister of Roger de Mont-
begon, grandfather of the said Roger, was found to be his next heir, and forth-
with had seisin of Roger's Lincolnshire estates and of Tottington {Fine RoU^
10 Hen. III., ///. 10). Subsequently he had seisin of Hornby Castle and
manor, which he granted to Hubert de Burgh, earl of Kent, for life, as appears
by King Henry's confirmation of the grant dated at Windsor, September 14th,
nth year (1227, Charter Rolls^ no. 19, w. 3 ; Final Concords^ pt. I, p. $6).
After the death of Henry de Moneweden, without issue, as it appears, John de
Lungvilers, son and heir of Clementia, half-sister of Roger de Montbegon,
sued the carl of Kent for the manor and castle of Hornby {Curia Regis Rolls^
no. 128, 27 Henry III., m, i), and afterwards recovered them.*

* This subject has been further noticed in Trans, of the Lane, and Ches,
Antiq. Soc, xviii, p. 107, where a mis-statement requires correction. On
p. 107, last line but ^tfor ** sister of Adam . . . father of Roger," read "sister
of Roger . . . father of Adam."

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. 63

The fee of Croston, in the hundred of Leyland, comprised Croston (6 car. ?),
Mawdesley (2 car.?), Bbpham (| car.?), and Tarleton (2 car.). John Malherbe
died before January 2nd, 1216, that being the date of the King's writ to the
sheriff of Notts., directing him to give seisin to Roger de Montbegon of the
land of Wheatley, co. Notts., which had been John Malherbe 's, his brother,
which the King had committed to Roger for the term of his life (Close Holls^ 17
John, p. 244^). On February 3rd following, a mandate was directed to the
sheriff of Lincoln, to give seisin to Eudo de Lungvillers, a knight of the earl of
Chester, of the land which had been John Malherbe's in Appelby, " in which
he claimed right by reason of his wife, sister and heir of the said John, as he
says" {Ibid. J p. 247).*

In consequence of Malherbe's death, without issue, this fee reverted to
Roger de Montbegon in 1216, and he subsequently enfeoffed John de la Mare,
to hold it by the service of one knight {Testa de Neville p- 411 ^)» where 14
canicates made one fee {Cockersand Chartulary^ p. 460).

The same Roger gave to the Hospital of Jerusalem
j. bovate of land in Croston in alms.

This is mentioned in the rental of circa 1540 : ** Of John Banastre for one
messuage and 6 acres of land in Croston — 2od."

The same Roger de Montebegon holds xiij. {sic) bovates
of land in Kaskenemore in thanage by ixj. \]d. and a half-
penny and half a judge.

Gilbert de Nocton holds of him iiij. bovates in Kaskene-
more. Reiner de Wambwall holds of the same land vj.
bovates. Adam de Glothic holds ij. bovates. These hold
the aforesaid thanage by the aforesaid ixj. \\d, and a half-
penny, and by half the aforesaid judge.

The district of Kaskenemoor comprised the vills of Crompton, Sholvcr,
Wemcth, Oldham, and Glodwick, in the ancient parish of Prestwich. As will
be seen from the next entry, it was held by Roger de Montbegon, and (lately)
by William de Nevill, in moieties, as the representatives of Matilda and
Amabel, daughters and co-heirs of Adam iitz Swain. The tenure was than-
age, and included the obligation of finding a judge or doomsman to the
King's hundred court of Salford. As these vills and their hamlets were

* John Malherbe holds one hundred in Appelbi and the Soke for the fee
of one knight of the honour of Peverel of Dover (Inquest of 121 2, Testa de
Nevill, p. 344 b). Geoffrey de Nevill and dementia de Lungvilers each held
half a fee in Appelby in 1242-3 {Ibid,, ?• S^i ^Y John, son and heir of
Dementia de Lungvilers, had livery of the half fee on June nth, 1246 {Fine
Roll Excerpts, I, p. 454), also of two knights' fees in Yorkshire, which
Clementia had formerly held of John, earl of Lincoln {Ibid,),

64 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

represented in both of these fees, they will be treated of as a whole in the
following note

William de Neuill held xiij. bovates of land in Kaskene-
more, in thanage of the King, by x^. and ixd. halfpenny,
and by half a judge, by the right of his wife. That land
is in the hand of the King, because his (i>., Nevill's) heirs
had not spoken with the King.

Ralph Tagun holds iiij. bovates of the same William,
Gilbert de Notton holds iiij. bovates of the same William.
Reiner {Reginerus) de Wambwalle holds ij. bovates. Adam
de Glothic holds ij. bovates. Henry de Scholfele holds j.
bovate. These hold the aforesaid thanelands by the
aforesaid xj. and ixrf. halfpenny, and by the aforesaid half
judge.

Gilbert de Notion's estate was the vill of Crompton (S bov.), held
by the service of 6j. 4//. yearly (3^. and y, 4//.). He gave land here to Cock-
ersand Abbey {Chartulary^ p. 726), as also did his grandson, Roger de Notton
{Ibid.y p. 728). After the latter's death in 1241, this estate passed to Gilbert
de Barton, son of William de Notton, son of this Gilbert. He gave Gartside
to the monks of Whalley {Coucker^ pp. 163, 624).

Rayner dc Womb well's estate included the vills of Wemeth and Oldham
(8 bov.), held by the service of 6s. 6d. yearly (41. 8J</. and is. gid.). He
occurs ;is a witness to deeds in the Pontefract Chartulary of the time of King
John. As nothing can be discovered of Rayner's successors, it seems probable
tliat they may have been mesne tenants, who were replaced by the under-
tenants, of whom the first to occur in records was Ailward de Aldholm, who
held 2 bovates in W^erneth for 19 pence and half a farthing about the year
1222 {Testa de Neville p. 372). From which it appears probable that he held
the vills of Werneth and Oldham. From this time the Oldham £simily, and
subsequently the Cudworths, were for a long period lords of Oldham and
Werneth.

Ralph Tagun 's estate was the hamlet of Sholver (4 bov.), held by the
service of 31. 2d. He was probably the son of another Ralph, whose widow,
Matilda, was claiming dower in Sholver against a number of persons in 1202
{Final Concords ^ pt. I, p. 20), and father perhaps of Ailward Tagun, who
was a juror on the inquest taken in 1242-3 touching the scutage of Gascony
in Salford Hundred ( Testa^ p. 397 b). Together with Andrew de Sholver and
Roger de Pilkington, he was engaged in bringing pleas of disseisin of lands
in Sholver against several persons at the sessions of the justices in eyre at
Lancaster in 1246 {Assize Rolls, no. 404, passim).

Adam de Glodwick's estate was obviously the hamlet of Glodwick (4 bov.),
held by the service of y. 2d. yearly {is. 6d. and is, 8t/.). Little is known of
the owners of this hamlet until the beginning of the next century, when the
Athertons held it.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. 65

The remaining estate was Henry de Scholfield's bovate, which represented
a small place formerly known as Burshagh (1322), Birchouer (1430), which we
cannot identify, unless it was afterwards known as The Hey in Crompton, of
which the service in the seventeenth century was lorfl yearly.

After 1 2 16, it would appear that the Montbegon moiety of Kaskenemoor
was given to Gerard de Canvill, or Campvill, in right of his wife, Matilda,
late the wife of John Malherbe. At some later period, the lordship of this
district was obtained, or assumed, by the lords of the honour of Lancaster,
who held it in 1322.

Yarferth de Hulton holds iiij. bovates of land in Pen-
nelton of the King in chief by the service of the sixth part
of j. knight. Elias de Pennilbure holds ij. bovates of that
Yarferth by in)s.

The sheriff eased his farm of the county at Michaelmas, 1200, of 241. of
land in Penelton which the King had given to lorwerih de Hulton {Pip^ Rolls,
p. 112). King John's charter of this land was as follows : — ** Know that we
have given to lorveth de Hulton and his heirs the vill of Penelton with all its
appurtenances in exchange for Burton and the wood of Kereshale, which we
gave him for his homage and service, whilst we were Count of Mortain, to hold
by the service of the sixth part of one knight for all service. Witnesses, &c.»
at Chinon, loth day of October, anno i©," 1199 {Charter Rolls, p. 27 b). It
will be obser\'ed that lorwcrth de Hulton received Pendleton, in the parish of
Eccles, in exchange for Broughton, in the parish of Manchester, and the under-
wood of Kcrsall. All these lands had been ancient demesne of the honour of
Lancaster belonging to the chief manor t)f Salford. Whether John, whilst
Count of Mortain, had given lands here to lorwerth for his services, or they
had been given to him, or his father Bleddyn, when Robert Banastre's Welsh-
men migrated to this county after 1 167, is a matter of some uncertainty.
Probably the first supposition is true of Broughton, and the second of lorwerth's
land and dwelling-place in Hulton.

It is probable that the estate in Pendleton which Elias de Pendlebury held
under lorwerth de Hulton was Hope, now Hope Hall, which the Radcliffes of
Ordsall afterwards held, together with Shoresworth, another estate held by
Elias de Pendlebury at the date of this inquest.

Gilbert de Notton holds by right of his wife xiiij. bovates
of the lord [the King] in thanage by xxvj j., that is {scilicet)
Richard de Wyrkedele holds j. carucate of the same Gilbert
by xvjj., w\\]d.

The task of separating the component parts of the ratable area and service
of this fee would have been impossible but for the evidence of two abstracts of
deeds formerly among the evidences of the Worsleys of Worsley. The first
proves that Hulton was rated at half a carucate by the yearly service of half a
mark, Worsley at half a carucate by the yearly service of lar., and runs as
follows: — "Know, &c., that I, Hugh Poutrell have given to Richard, son of

66 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

Elias de Workesley, for his homage and service, the manors of Workesley and
Hulton, that is half a carucate of land in Workesley, which is the "whole of
Workesley, and half a carucate of land in Hulton with all the appurtenances,
rendering yearly for all service xx., for Workesley, and half a mark for Hulton,
namely, the same service which I make to the lord the King or the chief lord,
saving forinsec service." The grantor occurs in the Pipe Roll of 8 Richard I^
1 195-6, when he proffered 5 marks for a writ de recto habendo of the fourth
part of the fees of two knights in Barton and Werkesley against Edith,
Lescelina and Matilda [de Barton] by the pledge of Robert Greslei {Pipe RoUs^
pp. 94, 96). The second abstract proves that a moiety of Swinton and Little
Haughton, hamlets of Worsley, had been given by Lescelina, daughter of
Matthew, son of Leysing, lord of Barton, to Richard, son of Elias (de
Workesley), which, although recorded in this inquest as held by Gilbert de
Notton, were actually held of him by Richard de Worsley, as shown by later
rentals of the hundred of Salford. We may therefore identify the remainder
of this fee as 4 bovates in Swinton and Little Haughton, held by Gilbert de
Notton in thanage for 35. ^, yearly, and 6j. yearly for sake-fee from 2 bovates
in Monton, which the abbot of Stanlaw held, if not at the date of this inquest,
at any rate soon after [cf, Whalley Gaucher^ pp. 59-60, 901, 904-5 et a/.).

Roger de Midelton holds j. carucate of land in Chetham
in chief of the King in thanage by j. mark [yearly service].
Henry de Chetham holds the whole of that land of the
aforesaid Roger.

This thaneland comprised the manor of Chetham. From c. 1235 ^^ '^75 i^
was held by Geoffrey de Chetham, son and heir, as it is supposed, of Henry de
Chetham, named in this inquest, and subsequently by the family of Pilkington,
as under-tenants of the lords of Middleton (</. Final Concords, pp. 59, 74).

Edwin the carpenter held j. bovate of land in Cadwales-
ate in chief of the King of the gift of King Henry [I. ?] in
carpentry, and afterwards Swain held that land. And
now Gilbert de Notton holds that land by rendering to
the King iiijj., but they know not from whom or by
whom that land may have been alienated from the King's
service.

Cadishead appears to have been originally a member of the demesne of
Salford. Henry L (?) granted it to Edwin to hold by serjeanty, with the
object of securing the services of a permanent carpenter to do work upon the
manor place or park within the demesne of Salford. Subsequently this estate
escheated to the Crown and was granted in fee farm to the lords of Barton.
At the date of this survey Gilbert de Notton held it in right of his wife, Edith,
who gave one moiety of the hamlet to Slanlaw Abbey {Coucher of IVkalley,
p. 521). When Gilbert de Barton, grandson of Edith de Barton, sold his
estates, or the major portion of them, to Thomas Grelley, this hamlet became
attached to the barony of Manchester. The yearly service in the meantime

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. 6/

(cifrm 1240) had been released to Stanlaw Abbey by William de Ferrers, earl
of Derby.

Alexander de Pikinton holds vj. bovates of land in
Ruhwinton in thanage by xs. And the sons of his mother's
brother {avunculus) hold that land of him.

This thaneland was the vill of Rivington, in the parish of Bolton-le-Moors.
Alexander de Pilkington was the mesne tenant and his half brothers, i,e,y the
sons of his step-father (as we think avunculus should here be rendered), held
it of him. They appear — from two early Final Concords, levied at Lancaster
in 1202 — to have been Thomas de Rivington and Henry de Pilkington. As
the said concords were made as the result or ending of pleas of assize of
mort (Tancestor^ we are inclined to believe that, the mother of Alexander de
Pilkington being then recently deceased, Alexander, her son and heir, had
claimed Rivington as his right, and had duly substantiated his title thereto
against his half brothers. Probably the bovates which Alexander thus re-
covered were held by others for a yearly service, and the rights of homage and
service from these bovates only, and not the right to the lands which Thomas
de Rivington and his brother Henry held in their own hands (1.^., in demesne
in Rivington), had been the subject of litigation.

William de Radecliue holds xij. bovates in Eggewrthe
and in Heton in thanage by xvjj. and viijrf. Gilbert de
Notton holds iiij. bovates of this William by half a mark
[yearly]. The father of this William gave to Robert de Hen-
netwisel ij. bovates of land in marriage with his daughter.

This estate comprised several villsand hamlets — viz., Edgeworth (4 bov. ?),
Entwistle (2 bov.), and Quarlton (2 bov. ?), all in the parish of Bolton-le-
Moors, and held at the date of this survey by the service of loj. yearly in
thanage (which tenure appears to have been converted into military service in
the time of Edward H.) ; and Little Heaton, in the parish of Prestwich cum
Oldham, known in the 13th and 14th centuries as Heaton super Faghfeld (4
bov.) held in thanage by the yearly service of dr. 8df.

At the date of this inquest Edgeworth and Quarlton were held by William
de Radcliffe in demesne, Entwistle by Robert de Entwistle, who had received
it in marriage with the sister of William de Radcliffe, and Heaton by Gilbert
de Notton, probably by ancient feoffment made to one of his predecessors.

Adam de Prestwich holds x. bovates of land in Prest-
wych and in Faileswrthe in chief of the King in thanage
by xxiiijj. Adam de Heton holds of this Adam iiij.
bovates by xj. Gilbert de Nocton holds of this Adam
[de Prestwich] ij. bovates of land in Faileswrthe by iiij.y.

68 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

These thanelands also comprised estates lying in three separate vills or
hamlets — viz., the vill of Prestwich (4 bov.), comprising the whole modem
township, held in thanage by the yearly service of lor., which Adam de
Prestwich held in demesne, Great Heaton (4 bov.)* adjoining the last, and in
the parish of Prestwich cum Oldham, held of Adam de Prestwich by Adam de
Heaton in thanage by the yearly service of loj., and one moiety of Failsworth, a
township in the parish of Manchester, which Gilbert de Notton held under Adam
de Prestwich in thanage by the yearly service of 41. This last-mentioned estate
was alienated circa 1255 by Gilbert de Barton, grandson of Gilbert de Notton,
to Thomas Grelley, lord of Manchester, together with the manor of Barton and
its members, and so became attached to the barony of Manchester of which
the other moiety had long been a member.

Hugh de Blakerode holds j. carucate of land in Blake-
rode, which was of the fee of William Peuerel, by xxj. and
has the King's charter.

Blackrod, in the parish of Bolton le Moors, appears to have escheated to
Henry II. about the year 1 1 73, owing to forfeiture incurred by Robert de Fer-
rers for participation in the barons' rebellion of that year. As the Pipe Rolls
record no issues received from this manor after the escheat, it seems probable that
the tenant remained in undisturbed possession. This was probably Hugh, lord
of Haigh, to whom John, Count of Mortain, granted or confirmed this manor
circa 1 1 90, by the following charter : — *'John, Count of Moreton to all his
men and friends, French and English, greeting. Know that I have given and
granted and by this my charter confirmed to Hugh le Norreis for his homage
and service one carucate of land in Blacherode with all the appurt., to hold to
him and his heirs of me and my heirs, by the service of xxx. yearly, that is \s,
at the Nativity of [our] Lord, vj. at mid Lent, vx. at the Nativity of St John,
vs. at the feast of St. Michael for all services and all customs, Quare volo, &c.

King John confirmed this charter in the same terms at Chinon, lOth day of
October, anno i", 1199 {Charter Rolls, p. 26).

Membrane 6. Elias de Pennilbure holds ix. bovates of land in chief of
the King in Pennilbure and in Chadeswrthe in thanage
by xij.y. And Richard and Adam and Henry and Robert,
his nephews, hold j. bovate of him by \]s. [yearly].

Pendlebury, in the parish of Eccles, was rated at one carucate, the service
being loj. yearly. Shoresworth, also called Showresworth, and Chadesworth,
was a small estate within the township of Pendlebury, long held by the Rad-
cliffe family. The name has disappeared from the maps. Pendlebury was

^ven to Elias, son of Robert de Pendlebury by John, Count of Mortain,
between 1 189-94. King John confirmed his former grant as follows : — " Know
that we have granted to E[lias], son of Robert, one carucate of land, that is
Penneberi with the appurt. and to his heirs, to hold of us and our heirs in fee
and inheritance, in free thanage by the free service of ten shillings yearly, as
our charter, which we made to him whilst we were Count of Mortain, reason-
ably testifies. Witnesses, &c., at Chinon, loth day of October, anno i%*' 1 199
{Charier Rolls^ p. 26). On the same day the King confirmed to Elias, "the
master serjeanty of the wapentake of Salford, to hold to him and his heirs, so
that Elias and his heirs shall answer to us and our heirs of all issues of the
said wapentake {Ibid,, p. 27 b)'*

Robert de Clifton holds iiij. bovates of land in Clifton in
chief of the King by viijj. Roger Gerneth holds of this
Robert iij. bovates by viijj. [yearly].

Before 1185 Clifton was held by Henry Pultrell, also called the Hunter,
who was outlawed about Michaelmas 1 184. The issues of his estate for the
year and a half ending at Easter, 1185, whilst it was in the King's hand and
until it was delivered to Richard de Clifton, son of the said Hugh, were
accounted for by the sheriflF in the Pipe Roll of 31 Henry II. [op, cit,, p. 54).
Richard held the vill until 1206, when Robert his brother, or son, rendered half
a mark to the aid levied that year. Only one fourth of the vill was held in
demesne: Roger Gernet, chief forester of Lancaster, held the remainder and
rendered the service of 8j. due for the whole vill.

William, son of William, holds xij. bovates of land in
Ruhwinton in thanage by xxiiijj.

The scribe has here mis-w^ritten Ruhwinton for Ritton, now Royton, in the
parish of Prestwich cum Oldham. The vill was rated at 12 bovates, the ten-
ure was thanage and the yearly service 241. The descent of the manor is traced
in Lane, Final Comords, pt. I, pp. 133, 216-7.

Roger, son of William, holds j. carucate in Redich in
thanage by vjj. Matthew de Redich holds that land of
this Roger by the same service.

The mesne tenant of Reddish, in the parish of Manchester, was Roger, son
of William de Kirkby-Irleth, who was also mesne tenant of the neighbouring
vill of Ashton-under-Lyne. Matthew de Reddish was tenant in demesne.
While the ratable area of this vill was one carucate, the service was only ds,

Gospatric de Chorleton holds ij. carucates in Chorelton
in chief of the King in thanage by xxj. Matthew, son of
William, holds of the same iiij. bovates which he deraigned
by wager of battle. Henry de Trafford holds v. bovates

70 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

of land by vjj. lijrf. Adam de Chorelton holds of this
Gospatric ij. bovates by xlcl.

It seems hardly possible to doubt that this estate anciently comprised the
two rills of Chorlton-upon-Medlock (or Chorlton Row) and Chorlton cum
Hardy (or Chollerton), notwithstanding that these townships are more than a
mile distant from one another, being separated by the township of Moss Side,
and a portion of Withington. We may perhaps reasonably conjecture that at
the date of this survey the five bovates held by Henry de Trafford, the two
bovates held by Adam de Chorleton, and perhaps one bovate of Gospatric's
demesne, lay in Chorlton-upon-Medlock, and the remaining eight bovates,
composing the other moiety, in Chorlton cum Hardy. Chorlton-upon-Medlock
subsequently became a member of the barony of Manchester, and was described
as one carucate held of the Honour of Lancaster by the yearly service of 20J.
In like manner the other Chorlton became merged in the fee of Withington.

Before the date of this inquest there had been variance between Gospatric
and his neighbour, William, son of Wulfrith de Withington, as to their
respective estates in Chorlton. The matter was decided by wager of battle,
Gospatric giving by charter to his brother Adam de Chorlton one eighth part
of the vill, to fight the wager for him and preserve his right to Chorlton. In
the result Gospatric's champion was defeated, and William de Withington,
father of Matthew of this inquest, proved his right to four bovates in Chorlton
cum Hardy. Before 1 196, Matthew, the son, gave these bovates to the
father of Jordan le Norreys of Heaton Norris {Final Concords^ pt. I, p. 6).

The charter by which Gospatric enfeoffed Henry, son of Robert, son of
Ralph de Trafford, of four bovates in Chorlton is still preserved amongst the
de Trafford muniments (no. 122 \ cf. Didsbury and Chorlton Chapels^ p. 245,
in notis). Gospatric died in 1223, when Brune his son and heir fined two marks
for his relief and had livery of one carucate of land in Chorlton {Fine Roll
Excerpts J I, p. 103).

Henry de Chetam holds liij. bovates in chief of the King
in thanage by vs. [yearly].

This estate was Hulme, adjoining Manchester on the south-west. Some-
times it is described as Hulme juxta Aldport. In the twelfth century it was
held by Jordan, the dean of Manchester, and was then descril)ed as Over-holm
and Noren-holm. It would appear that as Henry de Chetham was successor
of Jordan, the dean, in the possession of Hulme, he was presumably his
kinsman.

Henry de Trafford holds iiij. bovates in chief [of the
King in thanage] by the same service [of vj-. yearly].

This was " Old " Trafford, a hamlet in the township of Stretford, lying on the
south side of the Irwell opposite Ordsall. It was so named to distinguish it
from Trafford Park in Wickleswick, a hamlet of Barton.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. 7 1

William de Bothelton held [altered from holds] j. [lege
vj.] bovates in chief of the King in fee farm [by the yearly
service of xviijj]. His heir is in ward of the King.

Little Bolton, a hamlet in Pendleton, lies on the north side of the Irwell,
opposite Trafford Park. John, Count of Mortain, gave this land to William,
son of Adam, and confirmed his giant, when King, as follows : — ** Know that
we have granted to William, son of Adam, and his heirs, six bovates of land in
Bothelton, with all the appurtenances, to hold of us and our heirs, he and his
hdrs (jw"), in free thanage by the free service of eighteen shillings yearly for all
service and custom, &c., as the charter which we made thereof to him, whilst
we were Count of Mortain, reasonably testifies. Witnesses, &c., at Geddington,
14th day of March, anno 2"," 1201 (Charter Rolh^ p. 90 b). The heir who
was in ward of the King at the date of this inquest was probably named
Richard {Fitial Concords^ pt. I, p. 80).

Gilbert de Tange holds j. bovate of the King in Tange
by iiijj. [yearly service].

Tonge is a township in the parish of Prestwich cum Oldham, where the
ftimily of Tonge flourished until the year 1726.

Ranulf, son of Roger, held iiij. carucates of land in chief
of the King by xs. and j. judge. His heir is in ward of
Eustace de Moreton by the King.

William de Notton holds j. carucate of this heir by v\\]s.

William de Radecl[i]ue holds j. carucate of this heir
by vjj.

Adam de Urmeston holds j. carucate of land of this
heir.

Roger de Bothelton holds j. carucate of the same [heir]
by the service of the twelfth part of one knight

Ranulf, son of Roger de Marsey, and Roger his son and heir, have already
been noticed (p. 29). The service of lOJ. which he rendered for the vills
of Breighimet, Radcliffe, Urmston and Bolton (i.e.t Little Bolton, Hauigh and
Tonge) was for Sakefee, a sum paid to the King probably in lieu of some portion
of the perquisites of the hundred courts which had been resigned by the crown
when military fiefs, with their baronial courts and the accompanying judicial
rights, were created after the conquest. It is probable that the tenure of these
four vilh, rated at four canicates, was by military service. Breightmet,
Radcliffe and Urmston are each subsequently found to be held by the service
of the eighth part of a knight's fee, making with Bolton the third part of a
fee. The services rendered by Notton and Radcliffe amounting to 14J. look
suspiciously like los. for sakefee and 41. for ward of Lancaster Castle.

72 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

Hamon de Maci holds j. carucate of land in Stretford by
the service of j. judge. Hugh de Stretford holds iiij.
bovates of land of this Hamon by performing the service of
that judge. Henry de Trafford holds ij. bevStes of the
same by iiijs.

This estate comprised the modern township of Stretford, exclusive of Old
TraflFord. The Mascy family granted the vill of Stretford to Henry de Trafford
in the time of Edward I. The tenure was by serjeanty of performing the oflScc
of judge or doomsman at the hundred court of Salford.

The prior and monks of Lenton hold Kereshole in alms
by the charter of the lord King Henry.

The cell or hermitage of Kersall was confirmed to Lenton by Henry II. in
1 174-6 {Ptpg Rolls^ p. 327). Ranulf Gernons, earl of Chester, in or soon after
the year 1 142, gave to Holy Trinity of Lenton ** Kereshala," for a place to be
erected to the service of God, with pasturage and the right to extend their
lands by making clearings or riddings, and to make fisheries and to extend
their property and increase their advantages there in such ways as they could
{Ibid.^ p. 326). Kersall is a hamlet of Broughton, and was originally a portion
or parcel of the demesne lands of Salford.

[Makerfield.*]

Roger the Poitevin gave the church of Wynequic to the
canons of St. Osewald with two carucates of land. Richard
the parson of Wynewyc holds two parts and Robert de
Waleton holds the third part [of the church].

Aldred de Ynes holds of the same Robert iij. bovates of
that land of the church at fee farm. Hugh de Haidoc
holds of the same Robert iij. bovates of that church [land]
at fee. farm.

Count Roger's charter to the priory of St. Oswald of Nostell has not been
preserved, probably owing to the mutilation of the register of the priory in
times past (Pipe Rolls ^ p. 301). After the forfeiture of the Count's English
fief, it appears that Henry I. revoked the gift. After he had given the honour
of Lancaster to his nephew Stephen, Count of Mortain, the latter restored this
church to Nostell before the year 1121. At the date of this inquest Richard,
the parson of Winwick, held two-thirds of the church, and Robert, parson of
Walton, held one-third. This division of the church seems to point to a time
long anterior, when Winwick had been subject in some way to Walton-on-the-

•The fee of Makerfield came into the King's hand after the death of Warine
Banastre before April 3rd, 1205. On October 14th, 1213, Thurstan, brother
and heir of Warine, having given looo marks, had livery of this fee.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 73

Hill, which was the church and parish of the royal manor of West Derby. As
we know from Domesday Survey, West Derby was the chief manor and caput
of all the land between the Ribble and the Mersey. So Newton in Makerfield
might therefore be to a certain degree subject to West Derby, the church and
parish of the manor of Newton being likewise to a certain degree subject to
the mother church and parish of Walton -on-the- Hill. The rectors of the latter,
who held their church by inheritance until the 13th century, appear to have
held one-third of the church of Winwick, with its rectory manor, by virtue of
the subjection of the latter to their own church.

As it was natural to expect, the parsons of Walton had enfeoffed others of
their third of the rector)* manor — viz., Aldred {rectius Alfred) de Ince of one
moiety of that third part, and Hugh de Haydock of the other moiety.

William de Lauton holds vj. carucates of land and a half
of the King in chief by knight's service, where ix. caru-
cates of land and a half make the fee of j. knight.

Adam, father of the aforesaid William, gave to Hugh de
Haidoc iiij. bovates of land in marriage with his daughter,
and to Robert, son of Siward, ij. bovates in marriage. The
same Adam gave to Geoffrey Gerneth half a carucate of
land in knight's service. Geoffrey gave those bovates to
Thurstan Banastre in knight's service. The same Adam
gave to Orm de Midelton ij. bovates in knight's service.
And the same Adam gave to Robert de Kenien ij. bovates
to acquit himself of [the office of] judge.

Williarn de Lauton gave j. croft which is called Witeres-
croft to Alan de Rixton at farm for xijrf.

Adam de Lauton gave Fluttecroft to the Hospital [of
Jerusalem] in the time of King Henry.

Thb extensive fee comprised Lowton (2 car.), Kenyon (2 car.), a moiety of
Golbome (2 car.), and Arbury (i car. ). Out of this total of 52 bovates, only 14
bovates arc accounted for in the feoffments recorded above, but others no doubt
existed. The greater part, if not the whole, of Lowton was held by William
de Lowton in demesne. Sixty or seventy years after the date of this inquest,
Robert Banastre, lord of Newton in Makerfield, gave a considerable portion
of Lowton, known as Byrom Hall, to Thurstan de Holand, who also had about
one carucate in Golbome. Kenyon was held by William de Lowton at the
date of this survey, and he gave it to his son Jordan, who assumed the name of
Kenyon. Subsequently Jordan de Kenyon enfeoffed William de Sonky of
the whole of Kenyon to hold by knight's service. The half carucate which
Adam de Lowton had given to Geoffrey Gernet was the vill of Arbury, one
moiety of which Thurstan Banastre gave to Cockersand Abbey. Hugh de
Haydock's estate of 4 bovates lay in Golbome. The three remaining estates,
each of two bovates, have not been identified.

74 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

The tenement in Lowton, given to the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, is
thus described in the rental o{ circa 1540—" Of the heir of William Flytcroft
for a messuage in Lawton, i id. Of Richard Holand for a messuage there, 12^."

Thomas de Goldburne holds the third part of one knight
of the King. And (he gave cancelled) Richard de Wyne-
quic holds j. carucate of land in knight's service of ancient
timo. William, son of Hamon, holds iij. bovates in Gold-
burne by the gift of Augustine, father of the aforesaid
Thomas, in the time of King Henry.

This fee, held by the service of the third part of one knight, comprised
the other moiety of Golbome, and one carucate supposed to be in Hulme, a
hamlet of Winwick, which Richard de Winwick held by ancient feoflfinent
Thomas de Golbome's demesne appears to have consisted of 13 bovates in
Golbome. In the time of Henry VHI. {circa 1540) the hospital of Jerusalem
received from ** Golborne — of the heir of Thomas Gerard, knight, for one mess-
uage— 12^. ; of Richard Perpoynt for one messuage— 1 2dl" {Rcnialt Kuerden's

Hugh de Haidoc holds j. carucate of him of ancient

same of ancient feoffment.

Richard de Perepount holds of him half a carucate of
him {sic) of ancient feoffment.

Orm, father of the aforesaid Alfred, gave to the Hospi-
tal in alms j. croft, which is called Kaile.

These thanelands comprised the vills of Ince in Makerfield and Haydock.
Orm, father of Alfred de Ince, was styled **de Haydock" in the Pipe Rolls.
The demesne which his son Alfred held at the date of this inquest appears to
have been one moiety of the vill of Ince, the other moiety l)eing held by Richard
de Pierrepont by ancient feoffment. To this land was attached the duty of doing
two suits— 1.^., sending two doomsmen or judges to the court of Newton in
Makerfield. The vill of Haydock appears to have Ixren rated at 2 carucates,
and was held by Hugh de Haydock and William de Haydock, both doubtless
being kinsmen of Alfred dc Ince.

Henry de Eston holds j. carucate of the same Thomas
of ancient feoffment, and Henry, son of Roger, holds j.
carucate of the aforesaid Henry of ancient marriage. And
Henry de Eston gave to the Hospital of Jerusalem xx.

Swain, son of Lofwin, gave to Gospatric, half a carucate
in Hindele in frank marriage, and Roger, son of Gospatric,
holds that land of Thomas de Burnul.

Adam de Hindele holds ij. bovates in Hindele of ancient

Robert, father of Richard de Hindele, gave to the
Hospital XXX. acres of that half carucate (stc) in the time
of King Henry. And the same Robert gave ij. acres and
a half to the Hospital in the time of King John. And
the same Robert gave to the Abbey of Kokersond vj. acres
in the time of King John.

These thanelands comprised the vills of Ashton in Makerfield and Hindley.
It seems probable, from the wording of the second paragraph, that Henry de
Ashton holds ong caruca/f, should read holds two carucaUs^ i.e,y Henry de
Ashton one carucate in Ashton in demesne, and one carucate in service, which
Henry, son of Roger, held under him by virtue of the marriage of some
ancestor to a kinswoman of the said Henry.

The reputed manors of Garswood and Bryn were early feoffments within
Ashton, but whether existing at this time is very doubtful.

Richard de Hindley appears to have been tenant in demesne of Hindley at
the date of this inquest, holding 6 bovates under Thomas de Burnhull. Adam
de Hindley was probably his kinsman. Both were benefactors to Cockersand
Abbey. Roger, son of Gospatric, who also held lands in Lathom, held 4 bov-
ates in Hindley in right of his mother, daughter of Swain, son of Leofwin, who
had given this land to Gospatric with his said daughter. The locality of this
land is unknown.

The rental of circa 1540 thus describes the lands of the Hospital of St.
John of Jerusalem in Hindley — " Of John Atherton for one messuage — i6t/.,
and for one close 25, &/. Of Robert Lee for one messuage — dd. Of
Jonathan (?) Bate for Crokholes — dd. Of Peter Longton for one messuage —

And Henry, son of Laurence, holds of the aforesaid Adam
iiij. bovates of ancient feoffment. Alan, son of Aldith, holds

76 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

of the aforenamed Henry j. bovate. And Adam de
Pemberton gave to the Hospital j. bovate in the time of
King John.

Alan de Pemberton, here so called, was in all probability son of Alan de
Windhull, who died shortly before Easter, 1200 {Final Concords^ pt I, p. 37).
His kinsman, Adam de Pemberton, held the whole vill of Pemberton under
him.

Richard de Horul holds half a carucate in thanage and
renders yearly xj. and j. judge of ancient time. William
holds of the aforesaid Richard half a bovate of ancient
feoffment, and the same William gave to Thomas de
Horhul ij. bovates in frank marriage in the time of King
Richard.

The aforesaid Richard gave to John, his brother, j.
bovate in the time of King John.

The same Richard gave to the Hospital [of Jerusalem]
iiij. acres of land in the time of King Henry.

This thaneland was the vill of Orrell, rated at half a carucate. The
William here named as holding half a bovate appears to be identical with
William, son of Leising, who released to Cockersand Abbey land which he
held of them, which had been given by Richard de Orrell, or John his son
(CAariu/ary, p. 654).

Adam de Bulling holds half a carucate in thanage and
renders yearly xs. and j. judge of ancient feoffment

Simon holds j. bovate and the third part of j. bovate of
the aforesaid Adam of ancient time.

The same Adam gave to the Hospital vj. acres.

Roger de Winstanesle gave to the house of Cokersand
iij. acres of land in alms in the time of the lord King John.

The vills of Billinge and Winstanley were comprised in this fee. Billinge,
representing two-thirds (2$ bov.), was held by Adam de Billinge, and Simon

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. JJ

de BiUinge held one and one-third bovate under him. Winstanley (i J bov.)
was held by Roger, (son of Outi) de Winstanley, under Adam.

Richard de Edburgham holds half a carucate of land in Membrane 7
Edburgham by the gift of King Henry in fee farm and
renders yearly iiij.f. And of those iiij. bovates the third
part has been given in alms.

This was the vill of Abram, formerly Adburgham. The vill appears
to have been in the hands of Henry II., who gave it to Warine son
of Godfrey, who may have been a kinsman of Robert Banastre of Prestatyn
(see Cockersand Chartulary^ p. 662, in noiis), William de Ockelshaw gave
his land of Ockelshaw — probably the third part of Abram above referred to —
in alms to the Hospital of Cockersand, which his uncle Warine, son of Godfrey,
confirmed. Warine died between 1 201- 12, and was succeeded by Richard, his
son and heir, tenant at the date of this inquest.

Alan de Burton holds j. bovate and renders yearly x\]d,
in fee farm.

Robert de Midelton holds iij. bovates in thanage of
ancient time and renders yearly vj*. and the fourth part of
j. judge.

And John de Midelton holds j. part by the same service.

Henry, son of Siward, holds iij. bovates and renders

William de Midelton holds iij. bovates and renders
yearly vs. of fee farm.

Richard, son of Henry, holds iij. bovates and renders
yearly vs, and the fourth part of j. judge.

These six estates comprised the vills of Middleton and Hoghton, in the
parish of Win wick, rated at 16 bovates and held in thanage by the service of
26s. and one judge. In 1202, John de Middelton and Siward de Middelton
rendered each half a mark to the aid levied that year {Pipe Rollsy p. 157).
In 1204, Siward de Middleton and William de Middleton rendered together
half a mark to the fifth scutage of King John's reign {Ibid.^ p. 179). Alan de
Burton may have been a kinsman of Roger de Croft, and perhaps took his
name from Burton in Kendal (see Final Concords^ pt I, p. 70, in notis),

Gilbert de Croft holds j. carucate in the service of fal-
coner {pstricarii),

Hugh de Croft holds v. bovates and the heir of Ranulf
holds iij. bovates in the service of falconer.

78 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

These tenements comprised the vill of Croft, of which Gilbert, son of
Roger de Croft, was probably mesne tenant, and Hugh and the heir of Ranulf
tenants under him. Between 1213-19, Gilbert resigned his title in Croft and
South worth to Gilbert, son of the above Hugh {Final Concords ^ pt. I, p. 70,
in notis). In order to make the rating of this vill agree with the probable area
in Domesday, these entries must thus be interpreted, and the rating of the vill
taken as one carucate.*

Gilbert de Croft held j. carucate of land and a half in
Suthewrthe and rendered yearly xxj. And it is in the
hand of the King.

It does not appear why Southworth was in the King's hand. That it was
only temporarily so is evident for the reason stated above.

Willoth de Neuton holds ij. bovates by serjeanty from
ancient time. And he has j. bovate from ancient time and
renders [therefor] yearly xij</.

Robert, the reeve, holds ij. bovates in reeveship {preposi-
torid) from ancient time.

Roger, the clerk of Neuton, holds ij. bovates from ancient
time and renders yearly \]s, viijrf.

These three serjeanties — viz., the office of serjeant of the fee of Newton, of
reeve, and clerk of the same place, were held by inheritance and had probably
existed since the time of Henry I. The officers held between them 7 bovates of
the demesne lands of Newton, leaving 2 carucates i bovate of demesne lands
•enjoyed by the lords of this fee. Willoth de Newton is called Willot de Maker-
field in the Pipe Rolls {op. cit.^ p. 205).

The only vills in the fee of Newton in Makerficld, which escape mention
in this inquest, are Wigan, a rectory manor, the advowson of which belonged
at this time to the lords of the fee, albeit the King also claimed it as his right,
and the vills of Poulton and Woolston, which were held in free alms by the
abbey of Shrewsbury {Pipe Rolls, p. 269 et seq.).

The farm of Makerfield at this time appears to have been 11/. iij. 4^.
{cf. Lane, Pipe Rolls, p. 249), which was composed as follows : —

* The rating of the vills in the hundred of Newton in 1066, as estimated
in Notes on the Domesday Survey between Ribble atid Mersey {Lane, and Ches,
Antiq, Soc., xvi, p. 22, Table II.), requires modification. Ashton was clearly
2 car., Ilindley i^ car., Orrell i car., Middleton and Hoghton 2 car., Croft
I car., Southworth i^ car. Total 14 J car. Poulton and Woolston, were pro-
bably in the hundred of Warrington at the date of Domesday. They belong
to that parish.

[Lonsdale Wapentake.]

Adam de Yseni holds v. carucates of land in Witington
by knight's service, which he has given to Gilbert fitz
Reinfred.

In Domesday Survey the manor of Whittington (Witetune) was rated at
6 carucates, Newton (Neutune) 2 carucates, and Thirnby (Tiemebi) 2 caru-
cates. Like many other vills in Lonsdale, the pre-conquest assessment was
subsequently reduced by one-half. This fee comprised the vill of Whittington,
with the hamlets of Newton-with-Docker and Thirnby. Adam de Yseni held
lands of the honour of Lancaster in Wellingore, co. Lincoln. After passing to
Gilbert fitz Reinfred this manor became merged in the fee of the barons of
Kendal in co. Lancaster, and was held with Yealand (2 car.) for five-twelfths
of a knight's fee.

Roger de Montebegon holds the fee of viij. knights in
the county of Lancaster within the Lyme and without.

Adam de Montebegon, his ancestor, gave to Henry de
Rokesburgh j. carucate of land in Wenigton by knight's
service, where xiiij. carucates make the fee of one knight

The same Adam gave to Geoffrey de Valoines vj. caru-
cates of land in Farelton, and in Cancefeld by knight's
service.

Roger de Montebegon gave to the canons of Hornebi
in alms c. acres of land in Hornebi.

The same Roger gave to Elias de Wnington j. bovate
of land in Farelton by knight's service.

* The assized rent of Newton had been further increased by 25J., and the
farm of the mills by 30X., at Easter, 1201 until 1204 (Latu, Pipe I^olls^ p. 131).

80 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

The lordship of Hornby comprised the following members : — Hornby
(3 car.), Melling (3 car.), Wennington (6 car. ?), Farleton (3 car.), Cantsficld
(3 car.), Tunstall (3 car.), Arkholme (6 car.)., and Wrayton (li car.), rated in
all at 28} carucates.

Henry de Roxburgh was probably a member of a family of that name con-
nected with Cumberland, and possibly a tenant under the Montbegons in
that county. Some doubt has been expressed as to whether the lordship of
Hornby was held by knight's service ; but this grant and that to Geoffrey de
Valoines clearly show that the Montbegons had made feoffments of half a
knight's fee in this lordship, 1.^., of 7 carucates out of 2S| car., where 14 caru-
cates made the fee of one knight. Nevertheless, it is nowhere stated before
the latter part of the 13th century, that the tenure of this lordship was by the
service of two knights. On the contrary this inquest records that the quota
of knight's service due by Roger de Montbegon was 8 fees, of which two were
in Lancashire, in Salford Hundred, and six in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and
Suffolk. The explanation appears to be that the military service due from the
whole Montbegon fief was comparatively light, and that it was ultimately
increased, so far as Lancashire was concerned, owing to the enfeoffment of
knights holding fees to a number greatly in excess of the original number
stated above. In 1302 the knights' fees in Lancashire, composing this barony,
numbered five and a quarter, viz., Hornby 2 fees, Croston I fee. Bury, Middle-
ton, and Chadderton, 2^ fees.

Roger de Montbegon, the first recorded member of this family, possibly
came into England with the Conqueror, in the retinue of Roger de Mont-
gomery, or more probably of his son Roger, called the Poitevin, of whose
Domesday fief we have seen that he held several manors in Lincolnshire, as
Roger, the man of Count Roger the Poitevin. It does not appear that he held
any fee witliin the Count's Lancashire possessions at the date of Domesday.
When, however, the Count was reinstated in his English fief by William
Rufus(?), Roger de Montbegon received a considerable estate between Ribble
and Mersey — possibly more than the fee of Tottington, in Salford Hundred —
iHJsides the fee of Hornby, or rather something less than the fee which we
have just descril)ed. When in the year 1094 Count Roger endowed the abbey
of St. Martin of Sees with many estates, churches, and tithes of his demesne
in "Lancaster," and "between Ribble and Mersey," Roger de Montbegon and
Sezilia his wife, following the example of his chief lord, bestowed upon the
abbey tithe of land near Le Mans, which formed part of the dower of his wife,
and in Lincolnshire the church of Tite (Tyd Gout) with its tithe, and tithe of
South Kelsey and Tealby, while in Lancashire he gave the tithe of all his
demesne between Ribble and Mersey, and also "beyond the river called
Ribble, " by which we may take it that Hornby was meant. Roger de Mont-
begon, his wife Sezilia, and his brother Robert, also bequeathed their bodies
for burial at the church of S^es, and gave an undertaking that if either Roger
or Robert should afterwards wish to take the religious habit, they would only
do so at St. Martin's of Sees (Co/, of Documents — France^ p. 236). These gifts
were alxjut the same time confirmed by Count Roger {Ibid.). Of Roger de
Montbegon 's estates in Lindsey, at the date of the survey of that part of Lin-
colnshire taken about 1 1 1 5-8, particulars have been given from time to time

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 8l

in these pages. It is uncertain whether this Roger was the first of the name,
or his son and successor, Roger who occurs in the Pipe Roll of 1129-30 as
rendering account of an amercement of 30 marks which had been set upon him
for pleas heard before Richard Basset and William de Albini, the King's
justices {Pipe Rollf edit Hunter, p. 116). The same roll records a debt of
loL in Cumberland due from Hervey de Vescy for the marriage of the widow
of Swain fitz Alric with her dower, and in Yorkshire, Adam, the son and heir of
Swain, renders account of 5 marks for the lands in which his mother had her
dower, after her death. Roger de Montbegon II. is named in the agreement
made between King Stephen and Ranulf, earl of Chester {Lane. Pipe Kolls^
p. 368). He probably died circa 11 57, and was succeeded by Adam, his son
and heir, who married Maud, the younger of the two daughters and heirs of
Adam fitz Swain. Adam de Montbegon died before 1 185 {Rot, de DomincUnts^
&'c., p. 3), possibly in or before 1 172, when an old debt of his, perhaps represent-
ing the relief which he owed for his wife's pourparty of the estates of Adam fitz
Swain, her father, was pardoned by the King's writ directed to Richard de Lucy,
to John Malherbe, who married Adam de Montbegon's widow. Adam was
succeeded by his son and heir, Roger de Montbegon III., lord of Hornby,
Tottington, and Croston at the date of this inquest, and the last of his line {c/.
Lane. FificU Concords^ pt. I. pp. 144-7). He probably married firsts before
1 1 85, the eldest daughter of Thomas D'Arci {Rot, de Dominabus^ p. 8). His
second vdfe, whom he married before 1194, was Oliva, who had been the wife
of Robert de St. John, for whom he gave 500 marks and to have her land and
whole inheritance {Rot, de oblatis^ p> 4i)> of which he had been disseised for
adhering to Count John of Mortain in the rebellion of 1 193-4 {Lane, Pipe Rolls^
pp. 95, 99). This Oliva was lady of Tuxford and Broughton Brant and
daughter of Alan, son of Jordan.

This family was one of some importance in the twelfth century. Alan, son
of Flaald, who attested a charter of Henry I. between iioo-8, was a benefactor
to the abbey of St. Florent of Saumur before the year 11 22, and likewise to
the abbey of Marmoutier ( Ca^ of Documents — France^ pp. 414, 442). He was
the father of Jordan, son of Alan, who is described in a charter of Geoffrey,
archbishop elect of Dol, dated 11 30, as a valiant and illustrious man. In this
charter, Jordan agrees to grant the churchyard of the church of La Fresnais to
the abbey of Marmoutier, having discovered that he held it unjustly, his wife
Mary, and sons Jordan and Alan, consenting to this gift and attesting it
{Ibid. p. 441).

Jordan, son of Alan, was sheriff of Notts, and Derby in 11 28-9 (30 Hen. I.,
Pipe RoU^ 31 Hen. I., edit. Hunter, p. 7), rendering account the following
3rear of the feirm of Clipston. He was also pardoned \2s, for Danegeld of
Tuxford and the soke, in co. Notts., and 9;. for Broughton and the soke, in
CO. Lincoln {Ibid.). The same year (i 129-30) the men of Ralph de Albini and
Jordan, son of Alan, owed 20 marks amerced upon them for breach of the
peace in Loveden Wapentake. In 13 Henry II. (1167) Alan son of Jordan's
manor of " Tufford " (Tuxford) was amerced one mark for a plea heard before
Alan de Nevill, the justiciar {Pipe Roll Soc., xi., 139).

He confirmed to the abbey of Marmoutier the gift of his grandfather, Alan,
son of Flanud, of the tithe of his demesne at "Burton" (Broughton, in the

82 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

wapentake of Loveden, co. Line), with the approval of his wife Joan, and son
Jordan, which gift had probably been made before 1 108. The fees held by
this fiimily comprised Broughton with the soke, in co. Lincoln, and Toxford
with its members in co. Notts. Count Alan had 13 car. in Burtune hundred
in Domesday in demesne, and 5 car. of soke, and a chnrch (D. B., f. 347 3-2).
This fee seems afterwards to have been held partly by Alan, son of Flaald, and
perhaps partly by William de Albini. In Lincolnshire, in 1212, Rof^ de
Montbegon held Broughton Brant (Brucsan) and the soke in demesne of the
honour of Richmond by the service of 2 knights' fees, including half a knight's
fee in Gayton {Testa, p. 343 d., Red Book of the Exch,, Rolls Series, p. 519).
In 1242-3 Oliver de Albini held in Broughton (Bnicton) the fee of one knight
and a-half of Peter de Savoy of the honour of Richmond ( Testa^ p. 324). In
Nottinghamshire in 1212, Roger de Montbegon held the fee of one knight in
Tuxford (Tukesford) and the soke by barony {Ibid. p. 22 b). Many interesting
details about this hrnWy will be found in Mr. Round's Peerage StudieSy pp. 11$
et seqq»i and The Genealogist , xviii, pp. i et seqq,

Adam de Montbegon enfeoffed Geoffrey de Valoines of Farleton and
Cantsfield to hold by the service belonging to 6 carucates where fourteen make
the fee of one knight. Upon the death of Geoffrey before 1208, his brother
Philip gave 300 marks, 10 palfreys, and 2 brachets to have seisin of this fee, as
also of Steyning in Amoundemess, Newham in Northumberland, and Burton-
in- Lonsdale, co. York {Fine Roll, p. 428). At the same time Robert fitz
Walter and Gunnora, his wife, daughter and heir of Robert de Valoines, elder
brother of Philip and Geoffrey, gave 100 marks for a recognition of mart
^ancestor of the said Geoffrey respecting these lands. Whereupon the sheriff
of Lancaster was directed to summon Hugh de Morewich, to whom Philip de
Valoines had previously given the manor of Farleton, and Acarias de Austwick,
who held the manor of Cantsfield, presumably under Morewich, to be before
the King on the octave of the Close of Easter, 1208, to give evidence {Ibid.
p. 424). The judgment on the assize does not appear to have been preserved,
but the parties afterwards made concord and Hugh de Morewich retained his
manor of Farleton. On December 7th, in the same year, he made an agree-
ment with Richard de Heggcfeld and Godith his wife, Thomas de Tunstall
and Matilda his wife, Ingritb,* John and Acarias de Austwick, who held of
him the manor of Cantsfield and lands in Farleton, respecting multure to
the mill of Cantsfield due from the manor of Farleton, and the service for
lands and multure in Farleton and Cantsfield {Final Concords^ pt. I, p. 31).

The Hospital or Priory of Premonsiratensian canons at Hornby, dedicated to
St. Wilfred, was no doubt founded by Adam de Montbegon or his fether Roger.
It was a filiation of Croxton Abbey, co. Leicester, founded by William, the
porter of Lyons, and William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, before I i6a

Michael gave to Gamell, the forester, j. carucate of land

Furocss was rated to Geld before the conquest at 82 carucates. Subse-
quently this assessment was reduced to 41 carucates. By Henry I. Fumess
was included — together with Cartmel — in the honour of Lancaster, and so
formed part of the English fief which Stephen, Count of Mortain, received
from his uncle. It was probably in the earlier part of Henry I.'s reign that
Michael, the Fleming, was enfeoffed of one moiety of the land of Fumess,
embracing the vills of Sunton (i car.), Fordbootle (i car.), Roose (3 car.).
Hart (i car.), Leece (4 car.), Gleaston (i car.), Siainton (i car.), Newton
(2 car.), Aldingham (3 car.), Bolton (3 car.), and Dendron (| car.). In all
20) carucates (see Trans, Lane, and Ches, Antiq, Soc, xviii. Table I. p. 96).

Savigny in 1127, be expressly excepted from the grant " the land of Michael
le Fleming" {Pi^ Rolls, p. 302). In the year 1153 Michael le Fleming
gave to Fumess the vill of Fordbootle {Fumess Coueher^ p. 455) ; and about
1 1 57-8 exchanged 5 car. in Roose and Crivelton (later Newton) for Bardsey
(and Great Urswick, 2 car. ), Little Urswick ( i car. ), and Foss, in Copeland
(I car.), which William, Count of Boulogne, confirmed {Pipe Rolls^ p. 307 ;
Fumess Coucher, p. 454). By this exchange Great Urswick, then involved in
Bardsey, and Little Urswick became part of le Fleming's fee.

The first recorded feoffment made by Michael was Adgarley, i,e,, the
Domesday vill of Bolton (3 car.), which he gave with his daughter Godith in
marriage (as we believe) to Alan, son of Ketel de Copeland, ancestor of the
fiunily of Copeland, and father of Richard de Copeland, whose daughter was
a hostage for Gilbert fitz Reinfred in 1216 {Fine Roll^ P* 57i)*

Half a carucate of land in Urswick was given by Michael to Ulf, son of
Eward or Efward, perhaps of Broughton in Fumess, who gave the same to
Roger, son of Augustine de Heaton {Pipe Rolls, p. 437). In 1262, Roger de
Heton held this land of William, son of John son of Alexander de Hyton
{Jnq, p,m,, 47 Hen. III., no. 24).

Two bovates in Urswick were given by Michael to Adam, son of Bemulf of
Over Kellet.

his fether*s death, and afterwards in ward to Henry, son of Htrrey* {D. K*s
idth Rep,^ p. 167), and appears to have attamed his majority and had livery of
his lands in 11 86 {Pipe Roil, p. 60). His &ther probably died after Michael-
mas, 1 175 {Ibid, pp. 27, 32). To Gilbert fitz Reinfred, lord of Kendal,
he gave 2 bovates in Urswick and to Gamel, the forester of Kendal (?) one
carucate in the same place. All these feoflfinents add to two caracates of land
in Great and Little Urswick.

William le Fleming, or as he is frequently called William de Fumess,
possessed considerable judicial rights in his fee of Aldingham, as appears from
King John^s confirmation, as follows : " Know that we have granted, and by
the present charter confirmed, to William de Furneis and his heirs after him,
all his liberties which belong to his fee of Furneis, that is soc and sac, toll
and theam, infangenthief and the judgment of fire and water and duel and
gallows, and all other liberties, except those which belong to our crown
and to the sword, by the service of six pounds to be rendered yearly to us for
all service, but so that our serjeant ought to come into his court in order that
he may see justice done. Quare zwiumus, &c., as we granted and by our
charter confirmed to him whilst we were Count of Mortain. Witness,
Geoffrey fitz [Piers, &c] at Sorham, on the i8th day of June, anno i*," 1199
{Charter Rolls, ^. xl. b).

The abbot of Furneis [gave cancelled^ holds xx. cani-
cates of land and a half in Furneis in alms by the gift of
King Stephen.

The same abbot holds ij. carucates in Stapelthume and
renders to the King xIj. yearly.

The same [abbot] holds half a carucate of land in
Belmunt in alms by the gift of Warine, the little.

The moiety of Furness which Stephen, Count of Boulogne, gave to the
abbey of Savigny, and subsequently to the monks of Furness, comprised the
following vills — Killer wick (i^ car.), Sowerby (i^ car.), Heaton (2 car.),
Dalton (I car.), Warte (i car.), Orgrave (i^ car.), Martin (2 car.), Pennington
(i car.), Ireleth (i car.), Broughton (3 car.), Bardsey (2 car.), and Ulverston
(3 car.) ; in all 20^ carucates, which had been reduced after Domesday to
one-half of the pre-conquest assessment These lands were thus described in
Stephen's charter of foundation in the year 1127 — " All my forest of Fumess
and Walney, with all the venison which is in them, and Dalton, and all my
demesne within Furness with the men and all pertaining to them, and
Ulverston, and Roger Bristold with his belongings, and my fishery of
Lancaster, and Warin, the little, with all his land, &c., and whatever b
contained within Furness, except the land of Michael le Fleming" {Pipe
RollSt p. 301).

The monks of Furness acquired Stapelteme from King John in 1 201,

*See confirmation to him of various estates in Lonsdale in the darter
Rolls, p. 88 b. He was probably a kinsman of the lord of Middleham.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 8$

giving 40 marks and a palfrey for the King's charter thereof, which was in the
following terms — " Know ye that we have given, &c., to God and St. Mary of
Foumes, &c., Stapilteme, to wit ij. carucates of land with the appurt.,
which used to render forty shillings whilst they were in our demesne, to hold
of us and our heirs for ever in fee £utn by the same service, that is forty
shillings yearly for all service and custom, and for all secular exaction.
Witnesses, William, bishop of London, and John, bishop of Norwich, &c.''
(probably about March, anno 2°, 1201. Addit. MSS,, 33,244, f. 64 6), A
few years later Stapelteme and Stalmine were seized by the King owing to the
monks' defiiult to compound for the thirteenth then recently levied. On June
3rd, 1207, the sheriff was directed to restore these vills to the said monks
{Class RifJist p. 84). A curious account of the circumstances attending this
gift by King John will presently be given.

The gift of Belmont, or Beaumont, by Warine, the little, is recorded in the
following charters, which suggest that Warine had obtained this land with his
wife Berleta, and that she was a Gernet. They gave it to Furness in con-
sideration of a small sum of money, and dying without issue, the monks
subsequently obtidned a confirmation or regrant from William Gernet, whose
ligbtfiil inheritance it doubtless was.

" To all the sons of holy mother church, Warine, son of Orme, sendeth
greeting. Know that for the health of my soul and the souls of my parents,
I have given to God and the monks of Fournes in perpetual alms half a
carucate of land in Stapilthome. This alms they shall hold, &c., by rendering
four shillings each year at the feast of St. Michael, and they shall perform
forinsec service for this land. In my presence they give me twenty shillings,
and to my wife, whose marriage portion it is, ten shillings and a gold ring "
{Addii. MSS., 33,244, f. 64).

" To all, &c., William Gernet sendeth greeting. Know that I, having
legard for my soul and considering my old age, have committed all the care of
my body and soul to the abbot and monks of St. Mary of Fournes, and by the
consent and grant of William and Matthew, my sons, have given half a
carucate of land in Stapilthome to the same monks for an everlasting possession,
to hold free and quit of all earthly service or exaction belonging to me or my
heirs, save that they shall perform forinsec service for this land " {Ibid, f. 64).

The following account, which occurs in an ancient extent of the manor and
church of Bolton-le-Sands, was formerly preserved in an "Old Leiger or
Coacher of the Archdeaconiy of Richmond," in the charge of John Bridgeman,
bishop of Chester (1619-52). It is of about the date 1320.

" Be it known that nigh the vill of Slyne was a certain other small vill
which was called Stapleton Teme, wherein were as many bondmen and bovates
of land as there were in the vill of Slyne. And the said two vills of Slyne and
StapktoD Teme were held to be one vill in the wapentake and were held by
the lord the King. And all dwelling in Stapleton Teme were parishioners of
the church of Bolton, like those of Slyne, and received all ecclesiastical rights
and sacraments from the same church of Bolton, and fully rendered to the same
drarch all manner of tithes, both the greater and the less. Among other things
a certain man, Waryne [by name], a parishioner, had by the King's gift a small
niDor bouse (mama) with a portion of land in a place which is called Beamondi

86 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

which tenement belonged to the vill of Skerton, in the purish of Lancuter.
Afterwards the said Waryne, and Berleta, his wife, suffering from decrepitude^
gave by the king's licence that little tenement of Beamond to the abbot and
convent of Fumes for their maintenance during their lives. And so the said
abbot and convent made a little grange of the said place of Beamond. After-
wards the lord King [John] going to the said abbey or to the said grange, saw
that the grange was too small and poor, and gave the said vill of Stapleton
Teme to the abbot and convent for augmentation of the little grange, together
with other lands which were of the parish of Halton. As soon as the abbot
and convent had obtained the vill of Stapleton Teme, to be annexed to their
grange, they removed all those dwelling in that same vill, and of the lands
brought together made one grange, and by their privileges withdrew all
manner of tithes. Yet it is said that the abbot and convent pay yearly to the
prior of Lancaster a certain sum of money, but it is not known for what tithes.
The church of Bolton was despoiled of its right until the antumn of A.D. 1299,
when the church was peaceably reinvested of the greater tithes growing upon
the lands which belonged to the said vill of Stapleton Teme, &&" (A'^firtL
Honoris de Richmond^ app. p. 70).

Iteniy of the fee of Michael de Furneis.

The same Michael gave to William de Thurnum ij.
bovates of land in BellecHue by xj. yearly.

William, his son, gave to Adam, son of Girarrd, xxx.
acres of land in Aldingham by half a mark yearly. The
aforesaid Michael gave to Adam, son of Girard, j. bovate of
land in the same vill by vs. yearly.

Baycliflfe, formerly Bellecliffe, is a hamlet of Aldingham, which Michael
le Fleming gave to William de Thumham, whose name suggests that he was
a tenant of Michael's, in his manor of Thumham, near Lancaster.

Of Adam, son pf Gerard, nothing further appears to be recorded save that
he occurs occasionally as a witness of grants made by William le Fleming
and Michael hi% son. Gerard occurs as witness of a deed between 1180-99
(/?. /Cs 36M Rep,, p. 168, No. 53).

Adam de Midelton holds j. carucate of land in Midelton
by knight*s service. This Adam gave to Adam, son of
Orm, j. bovate of land by certain spurs yearly or by iij^

Adam de Middleton was one of the few military tenants in the county
holding less than a knight's fee. His estate was one third of Middleton, in
the parish of Lancaster, and the service the fourteenth part of the fee of a
knight.

Adam de Kellet, son of Orm, holds iij. carucates of lands
by serjeanty in the vill of Kelleth.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 87

This was the vill of Nether Kellet, which was held by serjeanty, namely
by executing the office of master serjeant or bailiff of the wapentake of Lonsdale
and liberty of Fumess. Adam de Kellet had King John's charter confirming
this office and lands — " Know that we have granted to Adam, son of Orm de
Kellet, theserjeanty of the wapentake of Lonesdale with three canicates of land
in Kellet belonging to that serjeanty, to hold of us, &c., as we granted to him
and by our charter confirmed whilst we were Count of Mortain. Witness, &c.,
at Sorham, i8th day of June, anno i%" 1199 (Charter Rolls^ p. xL b),

Thomas Gemeth holds ij. carucates of land in Hesaim
by venery, that is by his horn.

Before January 13th, 1201, Adam Gemet of Heysham and Caton had been
killed. Adam son of Orm gave six marks and a chasour for the King's
letters patent that he should only answer before the King or his chief justice
for the death of the said Adam, fearing the course of justice in his own county,
where the bailifi* of the wapentake was often no friend of the people. In the
same year Thomas, son and heir of Adam, gave five marks for his relief
{Pipe Rolls^ P> 132 and p. 140 in notis). It is elsewhere stated that he held
this land, which was the vill of TIeysham, by serjeanty of coming to meet the
King at the boundary of the county with his horn and a white rod, leading him
through the county, sounding his horn before the King's coming, and so con-
tinuing with him and conducting him again to the county boundary.

Hugh de Oxecliue holds j. carucate of land in Oxecliue
in carpentry. And this [Hugh] gave to Walter de
Sparram ij. bovates in marriage with his sister, whose heir
holds them.

Oxdiffe is a township (with Heaton) in the parish of Lancaster. It was
held by serjeanty of performing the duties of carpenter about the King's casUe
of Lancaster and other buildings, and timber-works of the demesne and
parks.

Ralph de Bolron holds j. carucate of land in Bolron in
masconery. Vivian, his father, gave to Benedict Gerneth
iij. bovates and iij. acres of land. The canons of Coker-
sand hold that land.

The vill of Bolron, or Bolrum, has long been merged into the township of
Lancaster. The only remembrance of this vill to-day is to be found in the
names of two messuages adjoining the township of Scotford— viz., Bowerham
and Bowram. The tenure was serjeanty by executing the duties of mason in
and about the castle and other lodgings in Lancaster. Ralph de Bolrum in
1207 gave one mark for licence to give lands here to Cockersand Abbey (Pipe
R^Us^ p. 216). Benedict Gemet's grant of that land is preserved in the chartu-
biycf that house.

John de Thoroldesholm holds j. carucate of land in
lardenery.

Torrisholme— the et3nniology is evident in the early form of the name — ^is a
small township in the parish of Lancaster. It was held by seijeanty by per-
forming the duties of larderer in the royal castle of Lancaster.

Roger de Skerton holds half a carucate of land in
Skerton by provostry. William, his father, gave to John
de Thoroldesholm xl. [xxx. cancelled] acres of land by
rendering iiijj. yearly.

The same [William] gave to the lepers of Lancaster vj.
acres in alms, and to the monks of Furneis xij. acres.

Roger, his son, gave to Philip, the clerk, v. acres by
rendering vrf. yearly.

Skerton, a township in the parish of Lancaster, lies immediately to the
north of that town, across the river Lune. The tenure was by serjeanty of
executing the office of provost of Lancaster, i,e,, keeping the King's gaol there.

The hospital of lepers at Lancaster, dedicated to St. Leonard, is said to
have been founded by King John, when he was Count of Mortain and lord of
the honour of Lancaster, 1 189-94. '^^ ^'st mention of the hospital occurs in
his confirmation charter of the church of Lancaster to St. Martin of S^s,
between 1189-93 {Lane, Pipe RoUs^ p. 298). The following letters close of
Henry III. give some particulars as to the liberties enjoyed by this hospital —
" The King to the sheriff of Lancaster greeting. The lepers of St. Leonard of
Lancaster, gravely complaining, have given us to understand that whereas
they were established and founded in our alms, and, in the time of the lord
John, our father, used to have their own animals in our forest of Landesdale
quit, and dead wood {bused) for burning, and timber for their own buildings,
by the charter of our said father, which they had thereof, and which through
the mroad of our enemies in the time of the past hostility they have lost, as
they say : Roger Gemet, forester of the said forest, being most grievious to them
and troublesome as they assert, greatly harasses them contrary to the liberties
which they have by the said charter, taking from them for winter pasturage one
ox, and for summer pasturage one cow, not permitting them to have, as they
used to have, dead wood for burning and timber for their buildings. We
therefore command you, firmly enjoining you, to cause them to have peace from
the said Roger Gemet and others who harass and molest them, and also that
henceforth they shall have their flocks and beasts quit in the said forest, with-
out any exaction of ox or cow, and deadwood to burn and timber for their
buildings, as they may have need, and used to have by the charter which they
had from our said father. Witness, Hubert de Burgh, our justiciar, at
Kennington, on the loth day of April, anno 4^" 1220 {Close Rolh^ p. 414 b),

Robert de Ouerton holds iiij. bovates of land in Ouerton

, THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. 89

by provostry, and he gave to Orm, son of Adam, j. bovate
by xijd. yearly.

This was the vill of Overton, in the parish of Lancaster, which Robert de
Overton held by serjeanty to be provost of the gaol in Lancaster with Roger
de Skerton.

Roger White (albus) holds viij. acres in Lancastre by
carpentry.

Roger, son of John, holds xij. acres, and shall make
the King's plough shares for two manors yearly.

William, son of Matthew, holds one messuage and one
garden in Lancastre in gardenry.

These three men held small tenements in Lancaster by serjeanty to be
respectively carpenter, smith and gardener, in the King's service.

Adam, son of Orm, holds j. carucate in Midelton in
thanage by charter of the King, and renders yearly j.
mark.

The charter here referred to is not to be found in the charter rolls, but it is
referred to in the Pipe Roll of i John, 1199, where it is shown that Adam,
son of Orm (de Kellet), gave 30 marks for confirmation of one carucate of land
in Middleton, the serjeanty of the wapentake of Lonsdale with three carucates
in Kellet, and the right of chase of hares and foxes {Pip^ Rolls^ p. 106).

John de Overton holds j. bovate in thanage and renders
ijj.

The vill of Overton was rated at 2 carucates, of which Robert de Overton
held four bovates, the above John de Overton one, and the remaining eleven
were in demesne, tilled by bondmen.

Walter de Paries holds j. carucate of land in Pulton by
the charter of the King, and renders yearly xvj.

The vill of Poulton-le-Sands had been the inheritance of Godith, who was
perhaps of the ^unily of Pennington in Fumess, wife of Hugh son of Efward.
Before I194, Hugh gave this vill to Walter de Paries with his daughter Matilda
in marriage. King John's confirmation was in the following terms : — ** Know
that we have granted, &c., to Walter de Paries the whole land of Polton, which
Ho^ son of Esward (xiV), by the consent and will of Godit his wife and their
hears* gave and by his charter confirmed to the same Walter, with Matilda his
daughter in marriage, to hold, &c., by the service of xvj. yearly for all service.

The heir of Robert, son of Gilmichael, holds j. carucate
of land in Witington and renders xld.

Robert, son of Gilmichael, or Gillemichel, died about 1207, as already
iMted in the account of Frees and Newton in Amoundemess. William (?) da
Frees, son and heir of Robert was under age at the time of this inquest and in
ward of the archdeacon of Stafford and William de Harecurt (page 29). The
manor of Whittington had been rated to geld before the conquest at 6 cam-
cates. Subsequently it was reduced to four, which the heir of the above
Robert and the tenant of Adam de Vseny held at this time.

Gilbert de Croft holds ij. carucates of land in Dalton in
thanage and renders yearly xs. Rc^er, his father, gave xl.
acres of land in marriage with his daughter; and to
Gospatric Prat xl. acres by rendering xijd. yearly.

Gilbert de Croft has been noticed as tenant of Southworth and Croft, in
the parish of Win wick. By fine in 1228 his son Henry being his attorney,
he made an agreement with William, son of Henry de Burton, touching lands
and common right in Burton-in-Kendal and Dalton (Final Concords^ p. 54).
In 1235, William de Frees released to Gilbert de Croft his claim in 2 carucates
of land in Burton and Dalton (Ibid, p. 70). From an examination of the
charters relating to Burton and Dalton, which are preserved in the Cockersand
Chartulary, and will shortly be published in Fart HI. of the Chartulaiy
{Cketham Socieiy)^ it is difficult to avoid the suggestion that Roger, father of
Gilbert de Croft, was identical with Roger de Burton, younger brother of Orm
de Ashton-under-Lyne, and that the said Roger obtained Burton and Dalton
by an alliance with a member of the family of Gillemichael de Whittington, to
whom reference has been made previously. Three brothers, William, Philip,
and John ?, sons of Gospatric son of Gillemichael de Burton, and their fiuher
Gospatric, were all benefactors to Cockersand Abbey in Burton. Roger de
Burton appears to have given Dalton to his son Gilbert de Croft, and Burton
to another son Roger de Burton II.

Gilbert de Kelleth holds iij. carucates of land in thanage
in Kelleth and in Bare and in Clacton wherefor he renders
x\xs. v]d, yearly.

Of which Bernolf, son of Orm, his ancestor, gave to
Adam de Yeland half a carucate of land in Bare by viijj.

Orm, son of the said Bernard, gave to Adam his brother
the third part of his whole tenement of Kelleth and
Clacton.

William, father of the said Gilbert, gave to Gospatric
White {albus) xxx. acres in Clacton, and he renders [there-
for yearly] xijrfl

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 21 2. QI

These thaDelands comprised one moiety of Over Kellet, rated at i} cam-
cate for 7/. 6d., one moiety of Bare (i car.) for &., and Claughton in Lonsdale
( I car.) for 4s, yearly service. The descent of the family who held this part of
Over Kellet appears to be as follows : — Orm, the ancestor, who must have
been living at least as early as the time of Henry I. , was the father of Bemul^
who enfeoffed Adam de Yealand, f.e., Adam d'Avranches, the first to be
enfeoffed of Yealand, of the moiety of Bare by the service of 8j. yearly, which
would happen within the period 1 140-60. Orm, son and heir of Bemulf, gave
one-third of his lands of Over Kellet H car.) and Claughton (2| bov.) to his
brother Adam, who appears to have been a collector of the aid to marry the
King's daughter in 1169 {Pi^ Kolls^ p. 12). He had 2 bovates in Urswick
firom Michael le Fleming (p. 83). Orm, son of Bemulf, attested the agree-
ment, made between 1157-63 before Henry II., between the monks of Fumess
and William de Lancaster I. {Ibid, p. 311). With Adam his brother he
attested a charter of Roger, son of Orm, son of Magnus {Ibid, p. 409). He
was the ^Either of William de Kellet, who took part in the rebellion of John,
Conot of Mortain, in 1 194, and subsequently obtained the King's pardon by
fine of 20 marks {Ibid, p. 78). In 1199 Henry de Redman proffered 20 marks
for custody of the land and heir of William de Kellet {Ibid p. 107). Henry
de Kellet, who occurs from 1204 to 1207, appears to have been William's
eldest son and heir, but died ¥nthout issue before 121 1, in which year
Gilbert, second son of William, proffered 20 marks and a palfrey for livery of
his inheritance {Ibid, p. 241). He died in 1236, leaving issue, William, his
son and heir, who died in 1242, Alice, who married Henry de Croft, and
Godith who married yfrj/ Vivian Gernet, and secondly John de Bigging {Fine
Roll ExcerptSy I. pp. 311, 389).

Matilda de Kelleth holds ij. carucates of land in thanage
in Kelleth and in Bare, and renders xvj. \\d. She gave to
Gilbert son of Adam the moiety of Koupemoneswra by
rendering iijj. yearly.

This estate comprised the other moieties of Over Kellet (i^ car.) for 7^. 6^
and Bare (J car.) for %s, yearly. Matilda was the daughter of Ughtred, and
wife of Adam, son of Osbert (also called Adam, son of Orm), who died in
1206-7, when she, as his widow, gave 4 marks that she might not be com-
pelled to marry. It is evident that this estate was her own inheritance, for her
son Adam, son of Adam, was of age in, and probably before, 1204. She died
in 1219, when her son fined 30;. for his relief, and had livery of his mother's
lands in Kellet and Bare {Fine Roll Excerpts, I, p. 31). Gilbert, son of
Adam, was ancestor of the Coupmanswray family, who held Capernwray, a
hamlet of Over Kellet, for a long period. Gilbert had been enfeoffed of one
moiety of Capernwray, and of one moiety of Bare, by Matilda de Kellet, who
may perhaps have been his mother. In 1204 he proffered a mark for an
inquiry as to whether he held any lands of the King in chief whereby he ought
to be tallaged or not {Fine Roll, p. 220). He died before 1228, when Adam de
Coupmanswray, his son and heir, had succeeded. Adam died in 1236.

92 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

Thomas Gemeth holds ij. carucates of land in thanage
in Catton by xxs. His father gave to Matthew [Geraeth]
iij. bovates by rendering vjrf., and the aforesaid Thomas
gave to Adam, his brother, ij. bovates of land by rendering
iijd. yearly.

Adam Geraet held Heysham and Caton until his death in i2oa lie
appears to have been slain l^ Adam, son of Orm de Kellet, baili£f of Lonsdale,
as before noticed. Thomas Gernet, son and heir of Adam, fined 5 marks in
1 201 for his relief, and had seisin of his land of " Hessem and Catton" (Fine
Roll^ p. 123). Benedict Gemet was his pledge. What relationship existed
between this family and that of thechief foresters of Lancaster does not appear.
Thomas died in 1222 {Fine Roll Excerpts^ I, p. 89). Matthew Gemet, who
had an estate of 3 bovates here from his brother (?), Thomas Gemet, also held
lands in Burrow and Leek (p. 97). Matthew Gemet, a younger brother of
Thomas Gernet of Heysham and Caton, held an estate in Burrow and Leek of
the Forest Fee, besides other lands in Caton and elsewhere. He died in or
before 121 5. On July 26th in that year the King committed the custody of
his land and heir to Roger Geraet, of whose fee the estates in Burrow and Leek
were held {Close Roll^ p. 202 3). It is probable that he was ancestor of the
femily of Burgh of Burrow.

The heir of Matthew Gerneth holds a pasture of the
King and renders half a mark yearly.

This is Outhwaite, a hamlet of Roeburndale, and Littledale Fell in Caton,
which John, Count of Mortain, gave to Matthew Geraet, and when King confirmed
by the following charter: — ** Know that we have granted, &c., to Matthew Ger-
net, for his homage and service, the whole land of Wluetheit (Outhwaite) up to
the forest of Roger de Muntbegun (of Roeburndale), and on the other side of
Wluetheit unto Clochoch (Clougha Pike), and from Clochoch ridge {de Clockoch
Cundossino) unto the forest of Roger de Muntbegun, and from Wluesthet
across unto the bounds of Caton, to hold, &c., by the service of half a mark to
us and our heirs for all service therefor yearly to be done. Quare volumus^
&c., with all liberties and free customs belonging to free land except oar
venison, that is hart and hind, swine and wild boars and wild goats, which we
retain in our hand, as we granted and confirmed whilst we were Count of
Mortain. Witness, &c., at Sorham, i8th day of June, anno i%" 1199 {Charter
Rolls^ p. xl. 3). For this confirmation Matthew gave 20/. and 2 chasours
{Pif^ Rolls f p. 106). He died in 1202, when Roger de Burton, whose
daughter he had married, gave 60 marks for custody of his land and heir, and
the marriage of his widow {Ibid, p. 152). This land had been parcel of the
royal demesne of Lancaster, and rendered but dr. %d, yearly to the Carpus
Comitatus, In 1200 the Sheriff eased his farm of the honour half a mark for
the pasture of Caton given to Matthew Gernet {Jbid, p. 112). John Geraet
was probably son and heir of Matthew. He died in 1 241, when Roger his

held of the King in chief (/^riw Roll Excerpts, I, p. 360).

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 1 2 12. 93

William de Hest holds j. carucate in Midelton and half

a carucate in Hest in thanage, whereof he has the King's

charter, and renders xxjj. iiijrf. yearly.

The land in Middleton comprised the remaining third part of that vill, the
senrice for which was 13J. ^, \ that for the land in Hest being 8j. yearly.
Bernard de Hest died in 1185, when William, his son and heir, proffered
10 marks for livery of his father's land in Hest and Caton {Pipe Rolh^ p. 56).
John, Count of Mortain, gave or confirmed these estates to William de Hest
between 1189-94, and again when King by the following charter : — "Know
that we have granted, &c., to William de Hest for his service half a carucate
of land in Hest with all its appurtenances to hold by the service of %s. yearly
for all service. Moreover, we have granted to the same William j. carucate of
land in Midelton with all things belonging to the same carucate, to hold, &c,
by the service of one mark of silver in free thanage yearly for all service.
Quart volumus^ &c, as our charter which we made to him whilst we were
Count of Mortain reasonably testifies. Witnesses, &c., at Chinon, loth day of
October, anno i*," 1199 {Charier RoUs^ p. 26).

The prior of Lancastre holds ij. carucates of land in
Neuton and in Aldecliue in alms by the gift of Roger the
Poitevin.

The Charter Rolls of King John contain the confirmation of a charter
which he had made to the monks of Lancaster whilst he was Count of Mortain
— ^viz., of protection, dated March 26th, ist year, 1200, and a precept to the
bailiff of the honour to give them full possession of their churches, chapels,
tithes and other possessions (^<^j/^, pp. 16, 17) ; but there is no confirmation
of the charter printed in the Lanccuhire Pipe Rolls^ p. 298. The vill of Ald-
diffe lies on the south-west side of Lancaster ; Newton, now called Bulk, on
the north-east side {Ibid, p. 292).

The burgesses of Lancastre hold j. carucate of land in
Lancastre in free burgage and freely by the charter of the
King and they render xx. marks yearly.

King John, when Count of Mortain, by charter dated at Dorchester, on the
morrow of St. Barnabas, the apostle, 4 Richard I., that is, June 12th, 1193,
granted to his burgesses of Lancaster all the liberties which he granted to the
burgesses of Bristol, released them from certain servile customs, and granted
certain liberties and estovers in his forest of Lancaster {Pipe Rolls^ p. 416). This
charter he confirmed when King, as follows : — " Know that we have granted,
&C., to our burgesses of Lancastre, all the liberties which our burgesses of
Norhamton had on the day whereon King Henry, our fiither, died. Moreover
we have quit-claimed to our burgesses suit of our mill and boon- ploughing,
and other servile customs which they used to do, and that henceforth they shall
not reap to our use as they used to reap. We have also granted, &c., to the
aune burgesses the pasture of our forest so fiaur as their beasts can go in the day

94 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

from the vill of Lancaster and return home agaiiL We have also granted to
them of the dead wood in our forest as much as they may have need for burn-
ing, and of other wood as much as they may have need for building, by the
view of our foresters. Quart volumus, &c., as we granted to them, &c., whilst
we were Count of Mortain. Witnesses, &c., at Chinon, on the loth day of
October, anno i^" 1 199 {Charter Rolh^ p. 26). The vill of Lancaster (6 car.),
with its four hamlets — viz., AldclifTe (2 car.). Kirk- Lancaster (2 car.), Hutton
(2 car.), and Newton, now Bulk (2 car.), was rated before the conquest at 14
carucates. At the date of this inquest the vill of Lancaster was rated at no
more than one carucate. The rating of the land of the church and of Alddifie
and Bulk is uncertain, and the vill of Hutton seems to have been merged in
the forest and so lost

Nicholas gave ij. burgages in alms which used to perform
service to the King. The aforesaid burgesses say that
Roger, the Poitevin, gave to Warine, the little, half a bovate
of land in Lancastre and he* held it until he and his wife
gave themselves up to religion in the house of Fumeis.
And the monks of Furness held that land freely until the
coming of Geoffrey de Valoines. And he (Geoffrey) would
not that the King's vill should be oppressed {ingra\yatd\
esset)y and he seized that land into the hand of the King,
and made burgages of it, and they (/>., the tenants) per-
formed customs and services as the others did and were
sworn to arms and so continued {fuerunt)\xn\i\ the coming of
the Count of Moreton who is now King. But they know not
if he gave them any liberty therefor. And they hold vij. bur-
gages for which (unde) they do nothing to the King.

The abl)ey of Furness held a number of burgages in Lancaster at the time
of the dissolution, the acquisition of most of which may be traced in the
coucher of the abbey (Vol. IL). The gift of two burgages recorded above docs
not occur there, but there is a charter of Walter de Paries of two burgages,
which Hardoll and Dilekoch held, of which the King's farm amounted to
threepence each (fol. 77).

The remainder of the above entry is not very illuminating. The £kIs
appear to be as follows : — Count Roger the Poitevin gave to Warine, the little,
half a bovate of land in Lancaster. This would be before 1 102. Sometime
after 1127, Warine, and his wife Berleta, being childless and advanced in
years, took the religious habit and retired to the abbey of Furness, giving their
land in Lancaster, as thoy also gave their adjacent land of Belmont, or Beau-
mont, to the monks of that house. Many years after, or to be exact, in 1 165
or 1 166. CieoHVcy de Valoines, who was then sheriff of the honour to Henry II.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 1 2. 95

as he had preYioosly been to the widow of William, Count of Boulogne and
Mortain, probably taking advantage of this unconfinned grant or alienation of
a parcel of the royal demesne, seized the land into the King's hand and let the
half bovate in burgage lots, thereby increasing the King's farm and augmenting
the number of burgesses available for the performance of the various customs
and services due from the borough, not the least in importance of which was
the protection of the place against the Scots. It did not appear, however, that
the King had given any liberty in return for the augmentation of his farm and
services, a matter which was no doubt prominently in the mind of the burgesses
who supplied the information to the jurors of this inquest.

Gamel de Bothelton and Dawe, who (^ui) is in the hand
of the King, and Annais,* and Thomas, and Gilbert, and
Godit, and Simon, hold ij. carucates of land and a half in
Bothelton and rendered formerly xLr. with customs. And
afterwards, the customs being grevious (^doletis consuetu-
dinibus), they gave to the King of increment ij. marks,
whereby they now render altogether v. marks.

Bolton-Ie- Sands first comes into view in the Pipe Rolls of 1201, at Easter,
in which year the vill began to render an annual increment of zos. of drengage
service, and half a mark of increment from the mill there. In 1204, Adam,
son of Adam de Kellet, proffered a palfrey of 5 marks worth for the King's
confirmation as follows : — " Know that we have granted, &c., to Adam, son of
Adam de Kellet and his heirs the reasonable gift which Adam, son of Alan,
and Godit his wife, and Thomas le Rous {Ruffus) of Bothelton and Sigherit
his wife, and Gilbert de Bothelton and Serott his wife, Michael son of Alden de
Bothelton, Adam son of William de Bothelton, and Agnes daughter of Roger
de Bothelton, made to them of their whole part of Greueholm and Dritem, to
hold, &c, by rendering, &c., yearly 2s, ^. for all service. Witnesses, &c., at
Nottingham, on the 25th day of August, anno 6%" 1204 {Charter Rolls ^ p. 141).
In the Fumess Coucher, Vol. II., f. 34 et seq. are seven charters granting Gref-
holme and Dritem to Adam, son of Adam, son of Orm de Kellet — viz., (i ) from
Adam, son of William de Bouelton, with consent of Walter his brother, of a
fourth part of Grefholm, and a fourth part of Dritem, of his demesne within these
bounds — viz., from Meresbech unto the ford between Ramesheued and Dritem
and from that ford unto the pool which falls between Wedholme and Dritern and
from that pool descending unto the sea-shore, rendering \%d, yearly ; (2) from
Agnes, daughter of Roger de Bolton, of a fifth part of the third part of Grefholm
and Dritem for 7d, yearly ; (3) from Adam son of Alan and Godith his wife, of
the same portion as the last and for the like service ; (4) from Michael son of
Alden de Bouilton of the same portion for 2d, yearly ; (5) from Gamell de
Bouelton of the fourth part of Grefholm and Dritem of his demesne for \%d,
yearly ; (6) from Thomas le Rous of Bouilton, and Sithrit his wife, of the fifth
part of one third of the same lands for 2d, yearly ; (7) from Gilbert de Bouelton
and Serot his wife of the same portion. These grants comprised five-sixths of

* ui^ Agnes. t ix,^ Sarah.

g6 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

the lands named, held by the yearly service of p. iom/., which is the service
named in King John's confirmation, p/us that of Gamel de Bothelton. The
remaining fifth part was probably that which Simon held at the date of this
inquest, or a widow*s dower in one moiety of the vill. These particulars point
to the vill having possibly descended — as to one moiety — to five sisters and
co-heirs, and as to the other moiety to the descendants possibly of two
brothers.

Anciently Bolton owed suit to the mill on the Lune, in LAncaster, the
tithes of which the prior of Lancaster took. Richard I. remitted this suit of
mill to the inhabitants of Bolton for 261. &/. yearly, who thereupon erected
a mill of their own, the tithe of which the prior of Lancaster took in recom-
pense for the suit withdrawn from Lancaster mill {/^ef, of Lane. Priory^
P- 259)-

In Sline there is half a carucate [of land] which is in
the hand of the King, which a certain carpenter by the
name of Gilmichael, son of Godwin, held.

Gillemicbael de Sline rendered half a mark to the tallage of 1203 {Pipe
RollSf p. 169). Early in the reign of Henry III., Adam, son of Gille-
micbael held this land by executing the duties of carpenter in Lancaster
Castle (p. 126). The vill of Sline, rated at 2 carucates, vras a member of the
royal demesne.

Thomas, son of Adam, holds vj. bovates of land in
Gersi[n]gham by forestry. Bernard, his ancestor, gave to
Bernard, his son, ij. bovates by performing forinsec
[service].

Geoffrey, son of Bernard, gave to Adam, his brother,
half a bovate in the same vill, and he renders one pound of
pepper.

The same Geoffrey gave to the prior of Lancastre v.
acres in alms.

William, son of Dolfin, and William, son of Gilbert, hold

ij. bovates of land in Gersi[n]gham by forestry.

Gressingham was rated at one carucate of land. In Domesday " Ghersina-
tune '* had two carucates to geld. At the date of this inquest it was divided
into two estates, one of 6, the other of 2 bovates, in both cases the tenure being
by serjeanty. Elsewhere we are informed that the 6 bovates were held by
keeping the King's goshawks until they were strong. Bernard, the forester, and
William, his brother, were amongst the number of those who made the rig^t
bounds between Kendal and Fumess, in accordance with the King's precept
between 1157-63 {Pipe RoUs^ p. 311). This Bernard gave to his [younger?]
son Bernard 2 bovates of land for the service of performing forinsec service due
from the tenement of 6 bovates. Geoffrey, son and heir of Bernard de Gres-
singham I. paid a fine of loox. in 1 194 for pardon, having been in arms against

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. 97

the King on behalf of John, Count of Mortain {Ibid, p. 78). Calling himself
the King's forester, between 1200 and 1205, Geoffrey gave lands here to
the church of Lancaster {Reg. of Lancaster Priory ^ p. 152). He died in 1205,
in which year Adam, son of Adam de Kellet, proffered 25 marks and a palfrey
for the marriage of Alice, daughter and heir of Geoffrey de Gersingham, with
her inheritance to the use of his brother (Thomas, son of Adam). She held
of the King 6 bovates — viz., 4 in demesne, and 2 in service, of which Bernard,
brother of Geoffrey, had been enfeoffed, and Ketel (his son ?) held at the date
of this inquest {Fine Roll^ p. 326). Thomas and Alice were probably the
parents of William de Burgh, who was lord of Gressingham in the latter part
of the following reign.

The other estate of 2 bovates, William, son of Dolfin, and William, son
of Gilbert, held by serjeanty, probably by executing the same office as was
performed by Thomas de Gressingham. Early in 1 184, Dolfin de Gersing-
ham had respite from answering a plea, brought against him by Adam (son of
Orm de Kellet?), until the King's return to England {Pipe Rolls, p. 50).
William, son of Dolfin, gave land in Bustocrig and elsewhere in Gressingham
to Cockersand Abbey, which gift was attested by Adam de Hieland (Yealand)
and Nicholas his brother, Henry de Kellet, Adam son of Orm, and Orm,
William, and Henry his sons, Roger Hamon and others. Another benefactor
to the same house was Adam, son of Ketell de Gersingham, who gave all his
share of Bustocrig, that is half a bovate of land, by charter attested by Osbert
the chaplain of Lancaster, Adam de Coupmanwra, Thomas his son, Ralph de
Bolrun, William son of Dolfin de Gersingham, Benedict son of Ketell de
Gersingham, Roger, son of Gamell and others {Aston Hall Charters),

William son of Richard de Thataim holds ij. carucates
of land in Thatham and in Yreby in thanage and renders
yearly xxviij.y.

His ancestor gave to Bernard son of Acke j. bovate of
land, and he renders xijrf. yearly.

The same gave to Waltheve son of Richard j. ridding
and he renders xijrf. yearly.

William his son gave to William son of Adam in
marriage with his sister xxij. acres of land.

The same gave to Elias de Wenington iiij. acres.

The same William gave to Matthew Gerneth vj. acres
by v]d. yearly.

These thanelands comprised one carucate in Tatham and one carucate in
Ireby. King John, whilst Count of Mortain, gave to Roger de Montbegon 18
solidates and 8 denariates of rent in Tatham and Ireby, to hold for one sor
hawk to be rendered to him. He confirmed this grant by letters close given at
Windsor on June 21st, 1215 {Close Rolls ^ p. 215 b). By writ dated August
28th, 1222, King Henry commanded the sheriff to cause 2 carucates of land in
Tatham to be replevied to William de Tatham by good sureties, which land had

H

98 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

been seized because the said William had done service for these lands to Roger
de Montbegon since the time of the war between King John and the barons.
As the said Roger required the king to warrant these lands to him, the sheriff
was directed to summon Roger and William to come before Hubert de Burgh,
the King's justice at Westminster on the Quindene of St. Michael, to show by
what warrant Roger took the service and William rendered it to Roger (Close
Rolls, p. 509 b).

The ** ancestor " referred to above was probably Waldeve, who was we
lielieve the father of Augustine de Heaton (of Heaton in Lonsdale), Adam
dean of Lancaster, William de I'atham (uncle of William, who held this estate
at the date of this inquest), and Richard de Tatham (father of the same). Apart
from the fact that the father of these four persons was named Waldeve, we
have the following data to justify the belief that they were brothers. By fine
in 1202, William, son of Waldeve de Ulverston released his right in half a caru-
cate of land in Torver to Roger de Heaton (son and heir of Augustine), who
gave him 10 marks {Final Concords y p. 17). In 1 1 84 Adam (dean) of
Lancaster proffered iooj. for licence to marry his daughter, who was of the
King's donation, to the son of Norman de Redman {Pipe Rolls, p. 52). In
1 198, Adam (dean) of Lancaster proffered 10/. to have the custody of the land
and the heir of Richard son of Waldeve by the surety of Benedict Gemet {Ibid.
pp. 102 and 117). In 1206, William, son of Richard (de Tatham) gave one
mark for a pracipe quod reddat against Adam dean (of Lancaster) to obtain the
land which the dean had with him in ward ( Fine Rolls, p. 352). By charter,
Henry de Redman gave to the monks of Furness, with the consent of his wife
and heirs, a rent of y. yearly to be rendered for the lights of their church of
Furness — viz., ** 2j. which William son of Waldeve, my uncle, renders to me
for the land of Herthornthwait, which was my uncle Adam's, and 12^?! which
Gamell son of Levin renders to me for the land of Micklethwait " {Furness
Coucher, p. 509). Adam dean of Lancaster held an estate in Lupton, ca West-
morland, and gave lands there to Cockersand Abbey. Henry, son of Henry
de Redman, inherited this estate in right of his mother, daughter of Adam, the
dean {Cockersand Chartulary), These extracts we think justify the supposition
which we hazarded at the commencement of this note.

Returning to Waldeve, ** the ancestor,** he appears to have had lands in the
parish of Ulverston, perhaps in Torver, to which William, his son, succeeded,
lieing in consequence described as William, son of Waldeve de Ulverston.
He was also lord of Tatham and Ireby, and during his time gave lands to
William, son of Adam, in marriage with his sister, to Elias de Wennington and
to Matthew Gernet. Dying w^ithout Issue he was succeeded by his brother
Richard, son of Waldeve, who attested a charter of John, Count of Mortain,
between 1189-1194 {Pipe Rolls, p. 299) and died in 1198. William, his son
and heir, being then a minor, did not obtain livery of his estates until 1206.*

* In Lancashire Pipe Rolls, three entries — viz., pp. 103, 158, and 208,
have been incorrectly annotated owing to uncertainty whether entries mention-
ing ** Adam decanus *' referred to Adam, dean of Kirkham, or the dean of
Lancaster. The former's dealings relate chiefly to his nephew's estate in
Kirkham, the latter's to his nephew of Tatham and Ireby.

THE GREAT INQUEST OF SERVICE, A.D. 12 12. I03

A.D. 1 102. This appears to be incorrect, the Domesday Survey proving that
Croxton was a member of the royal demesne in Leicestershire. Henry I. gave
the four manors of Croxton, Knipton, Harston and Broughton to Stephen,
Count of Mortain, as parcel of the honour of Lancaster, and from Stephen
they descended by inheriunce to his son, William, Count of Boulogne and
Mortain, who was one of the founders or first benefectors of the abbey which
was founded here in his time. Soon after the Count's death in 1 160, Henry II.
retained Croxton and Sedgebrook in his own hand, and afterwards exchanged
it for Corsham and Culington, two-thirds of which belonged to William le
Porter, son of Ingram le Porter of Lyons, and the other third to Masilia de
Apegard. They obtained equivalent shares in exchange in Croxton and
Sedgebrook. Masilia had a daughter Sarezina, who succeeded to her third
part of the said lordship. The portion of Masilia was held by the service of
bearing the standard of the Porters whenever they were in the service of the
King. Tliis portion of Croxton descended to Margery, her daughter, who
brought it in marriage to Roger de St. Albin.

William le Porter was succeeded at his death by Hugh, his brother, who
was prevented from taking seisin of Sedgebrook by Henry, Earl of Brabant
and Lorrain, then lord of Eye. Soon afterwards Hugh came into possession,
but whilst King Richard was a prisoner in Germany, John, Count of Mortain,
gave this estate to Hubert de Burgh, his chamberlain. Hugh was at this
time in Normandy, but within six months after, accompanying King Richard
on his return to England, he was reinstated in possession of Croxton, which
he held peaceably until 1203, when Philip Augustus, the French King,
having seized upon the lands belonging to the English in Normandy, King
John retaliated by seizing the possessions of the French in England ; on which
occasion Hugh le Porter's lands in Croxton were seized, King John giving
two-thirds of Croxton and two-thirds of the park there to Geoffrey Lutterel.
From Geoffrey it descended to Andrew his son, under-sheriff to Philip Marc,
sheriff of Notts., whose daughter he married. But Hubert de Burgh, in
1219, being advanced to the office of Justiciar of England, again got
possession of it, King Henry III. on May 26th, 1224, sending his precept to
the Sheriff of Leicester to give Hubert full seisin of the manor with its
appurtenances (Close Rolls^ p. 601) ; and also of the lordship of Sedgebrook,
from which he expelled Reginald de Vaux, the farmer of Almeric de Evreux,
carl of Gloucester. Hubert, who in 1227 was raised to the title of Earl of
Kent, gave Croxton by the King's consent to Magot, his daughter, until upon
an insurrection raised by Hubert, the King gave Croxton for a time to
Waleran le Tybeis, but afterwards restored it to Magot, on whose death
her father resumed the lordship and gave it to Philip Basset, who held it a
short time, as Hubert could not warrant his grant ; and the title being
litigated in 1234, it reverted to the Crown, the Abbot of Croxton holding the
lordship for a few years as the King's tenant.

On April 26, 1242, King Henry gave to Bertram de Criol, for his homage
and service, the manor of Croxton, in part exchange for the manor of
Ketelbeme in the same county, which he had first given to the said Bertram
{Charter Rolh^ 26 Hen. III., w. i ). This family gave to the vill the distinctive
title of Croxton ** Keriall."

Henry, the Falconer, holds the fee of j. knight in
Brocton in Leicestersire of the gift of Richard Bussell.

The King held Broctone, where there were 12 car. which Hugh fitz
Baldric held at farm under him (f. 230-2). In 1 124-9, in the hundred
of Brocton, the Count of Mortain had 12 car. in the vill of Brocton {Feudal
England, p. 202). In 1 242-3 Peter de Mora held one fee in Brocton of the
honour of Lancaster {Testa, p. 97). Ralph de la More held it in 1237 {Ibid.
p. 91 b).

Although it is stated in the inquest of 12 12 (p. 28) that Broughton was
given by Albert Bussell to Geoffrey de Valoines, the actual descent of the
manor appears to have been as follows : — ^Albert Bussell enfeoffed Adam, son
of Elias, presumably between ii6o-7a His son, Ralph de la More, who
married a daughter of the house of Bussell, enfeoffed Ralph de Sakirtoft
of 4 car., being one-third of the manor, subject to military service. At his
decease the manor descended to his daughter Honora, Anodour or Anoor,
who was under age and in ward to the King {sic), who gave her and her
inheritance to Henry, the Falconer, one of his own servants. Ralph, the
Falconer, or Ralph de la More, son of Henry and Honora, had the church
of Broughton from his parents and gave it to Lenton. By his wife Margery,
daughter of Roger Paynere, he had issue, Peter de la More, who gave
Broughton to Croxton Abbey about 1241 {NichoVs Leicestershire ^ II, pt. I,
p. 109).

[Harston and Knipton.]

The King held Herstan where there were 12 car., which Hugh fitz

had 12 car., and in the hundred of Scaldeford 8 car. 6 bov. in the vill of
Knipton {Feudal England, pp. 202-3). ^^ 12\2^ Robert de Harston held one
fee here of the honour of Lancaster ( Testa, p. 408). In 1235-6, Robert (son of
William) de Ilarestan held half {sic) a knight's fee in Hareston and Gnipton
{Ibid. p. 91), where he also held one fee in 1242-3 {Ibid, p. 97). Ralph was
lord of Harstun, temp. Hen. I., under Stephen, Count of Mortain. His son,
Rol:)ert fitz Ralph, was lord, temp. King Stephen, and gave the church here
to the abbot and convent of Leicester. He was also a benefactor to the
abbot and convent of Croxton {Peck MSS. 4935, ex cod. MS. in 24° apud
Belvoir, f. 35 b). William, his son {/^eg. Cart. Robt. de Woodford in BibL
Cott.), granted Gnipton to Gilbert Avenell, his brother, 10 hold in fee by the
service of \ fee. He also gave him the inheritance of divers lands in Hickling,
CO. Notts., and Sutton in the Dale, co. Derby. Rol)ert de Hareston, son of
William, had a suit with his uncle Gilbert de Avenell (C. A*. Roll, of Jno., m. I,
term. Pasch.). He paid \m. for \ fee in Hareston and Gnipton to the aid
of Hen. III. 1235-6. He confirmed §rds of the tithe granted by his uncle
Ralph de Knipton to Belvoir {Reg. Belvoir). Robert was also lord of Sutton,
and of |rds of the manor of Hickling {Nichols Leicestershire, part I, p. 214).

Edwinestowe, and may be identified with the 12s, 6d. of land which King John
gave to Welbeck Abbey {T^sta, p. 18 d).

The ancestors of William de Huntingfeld founded a
certain house of religion in Mendam, in the fee of Lan-
castre.

This was the priory of Mindham, or Mendham, a cell to Castleacie,
founded by William, son of Roger de Huntingfeld, in the time of King
Stephen or early in the time of Henry II. (Afonasticon^ V, p. 56).

Roger de Murieux and his ancestors gave to the

The County of
Lancastre.

Reginald de Ponz has in
ward the heir of Tebbald
Walter with the land of
Withetun and Treuels and
Routhecliue, and it is worth
x/. yearly.

Theobald Walter probably died before October 8th, 1205 {Close Rolls,
p. 54). On February 19th, 1206, the King sent word to the sheriffs of Lan-
caster and other counties that he had committed in bail to Robert le Vavasour
until mid-lent following, Matilda, daughter of the said Robert, who was wife of
Theobald Walter with her dower and marriage [lands] and all chattels therein,
saving to the King ^ Almundemies '* (Ibid, p. 65 ^ ; r/I Fine Roll^ p. 383). Before
February 8th, 12 14, the King granted Theobald's son and heir tp Reginald de
Pontibus to marry to his daughter, and on that date directed that seisin of all
Theoba]d*s estates, except Agmondemesse which the King had given to Theo-
bald, should be made to the said Reginald {Ibid, p. 163 b). On July 27th,
1215, the sheriff was commanded to deliver to Fulk fitz Warine and Matilda,
his wife, her dower of land which Theobald had in Amundemess, which was
in the King's hand {Ibid, p. 223 b, and cf, p. 352). Theobald, son and heir of
Theobald Walter, was of age July 2nd, 1221 {Ibid, p. 463).

The lands mentioned above as of the value of 10/. yearly were the manors
of Weeton, Treales and RawcIifTe with their members.

Quenilda, daughter of Quenilda, who was the

And the earl of Chester
married her to Roger Ger-
net by reason that she held
of the earl by knight's
service and of the King
by farm. And [her] land is
worth xxiijj. yearly.

Quenilda's first husband was Jordan de Thomhill (p. 23). The date of
his death has not been ascertained, but it was before 1222. Roger Gemet and
Quenilda his wife had seisin of the lands of the said Quenilda, which had been
taken into the King's hand because Roger had married her, being of the King's
donation, without licence, by writ dated November 3rd, 1222 {Close Rolls,
p. 518 b). It is difficult to suggest what fee she held of the Earl of Chester by
knight's service. The earl did not receive the lands between the Ribble and
the Mersey until 1229.

Adam de Ainsdale succeeded his brother Roger, son of Robert, before 1219

She was one of the three daughters and co-heirs of Robert son of Bernard,
thane of Goosnargh and lord of Catterall {Fine RoU^ p. 353). She was

The lady Ada de Furneys
made fine in the same
manner and is married to
William le Boteler. And
her land is worth v. marks
yearly.

She is indifferently called Alice, Aline, and Ada. Her first husband was
William le Fleming of Furness, who died before April 8th, 1204 {Patent Rolis^
p. 41), when she fined 50 marks and 2 palfreys for her dower and share of her
late husband's chattels, and to marry whom she would {Pipe RcUs^ p. 180).
Between 12 13-5, William le Boteler sought the King's petition to Alina, to
persuade her to take him in marriage, which she subsequently did {Pipe Rolls,
p. 252).

The wife of Gamell de
Boelton was of the gift of the
King, and her land is worth

This lad/s name appears to have been Dawe, and her husband appears to
have died before 12 12 (p. 95). He held the fourth part of Bolton-le-Sands.

Matilda de Kellet made
fine with King John that she
might marry as she would
(se marttare), and her land

This lady was the widow of Adam Gernet of Heysham and Caton, who was
slain by Adam, son of Orm de Kellet, in 1 199-1200 {Pipe Roils^ p. 140).
Possibly the seijeanty of Heysham was her inheritance.

The wife of Hugh de
Oxecliue is in the gift of

By writ, dated January 26th, 1221, the sheriff of Lancaster was directed to
certify the barons of the Exchequer as to the amount which the lands of Ashton-
on-Ribble (Aiston) and Blackrod bore in the Corpus Comttatus, These vills
were then in the hand of the Earl of Ferrers as " of our bailiwick " (Close Rolls^
p. 474 b). As the sheriff deducted 22s, dcL for these vills from his farm of the
county in the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry III., 1220-1, and 30;. in subsequent years,
it is evident that the earl had seisin at Christmas, 122a Great and Little

Oliva, who was the wife of Roger de Montbegon, is of the
gift of the King. And she has no land in this wapentake.

On March 30th, 1226, the King sent his mandate to the sheriff of Lancaster
to take the lands of Roger de Montbegon, who was dead, into the King's hand
(Fine Roll Excerpts^ !« p. 140). On April 6th, the castle and manor of Hornby
were committed to the Earl of Warren {Fim Roll^ 10 Hen. III., m, 7). On
April 15th, Olive, his widow, had the soke of Oswaldbec, co. Notts., assigned
to her as her dower {Close Rolls, p. 105 b). On September 25th, Henry de
Moneghedene, kinsman and heir of Roger, had livery of Roger's estates and
gave security for payment of relief of 8 knights* fees {Fine Roll Excerpts^ I, p.
149). Concerning Oliva de Montbegon, see p. 81.

There is no record of the death of Adam de Garston, which took place
sometime before 121 2.

Waltania, who was the wife of Richard Bold, was of the
gift of the King. She has been married to Waldern de
Reynham. [Her] land is worth half a mark.

Richard de Bold died early in 121 1 {Pipe Rolls, pp. 241-2). At Michael-
mas following, Adam, son and heir of Richard, owed loos. for his relief. He
died before June 27th, 1222. On May 12th, 1223, Matthew his brother and
heir fined 3 marks for his relief and had livery of three carucates in Bold. The
delay arose from the King having required Matthew de Bold to show by what
warrant he held two carucates in Bold, which may at some time have been an
escheat (Fine Roll Excerpts^ I, pp. 89, 103). Waldern de Rejmham may have
been of Kettleston, co. Norfolk.

[Amounderness.]

Matilda de Thorenton is of the gift of the King and
has not been married. Her land in this wapentake
[Amunderness] is worth xx.f.

William de Win wick fined 10 marks and 2 palfrejrs early in 1201 for 30
acres of land in Thornton, of which Theobold Walter had disseised him, and
for relief of his land {Fine Roll, p. 116). He died between 1213-5, when
Alan de Singleton gave 20 marks to have Alice, his daughter and heir {Pipe
Rolhi p. 252, cf, Cockersand Chartulary^ p. 160). Margaret, another daughter
and ultimate heir married Matthew de Carleton. Matilda, daughter of
Robert, was widow of William de Winwick. She had lands in Whitting-
ham {Cockersand Chariulary, p. 231).

[Salford Hundred.]

Agones de Clopwayt (Jege Glothwayt = Glodwick) ought
to be in ward of the King for two bovates of land which
she holds of the King in Blothelay {lege Glothwayt = Glod-
wick) for xixrf. and the moiety of one farthing and by
finding the sixth part of one judge. And the residue to
her own use is worth \]s.

This estate was 2 bovates in Glodwick in Kaskenmoor which Adam de
Glodwick held of the heirs of William de Nevill at the date of the inquest
taken in 12 12 (p. 64). Agnes de Glodwick was Adam's heir, probably his

WARDSHIPS, MARRIAGES, ETC., A.D. 1222-6. 129

daughter. It is to be supposed that she held the other moiety of her estate of
Glodwick of Roger de Montbegon.

Alexander de Kyrkeby ought to hold in chief of the

King one carucate of land for vjj.

This estate was the vill of Reddish which Roger, son of William, father
of Alexander de Kirkby Ireleth, held in 12 12. In 1200 Roger de Kirkby
had proffered 50 marks and two chasours to give pledge and sureties of
standing by right, if any one should seek to speak against him touching
the death of Matthew son of Simon of which he had been appealed,
and that his body should not be taken if he should be able to find sufficient
sureties {Fine Roll^ p. 98). He was living in 12 16, when his eldest son Richard,
whom he had by the daughter of Gilbert fitz Reinfred, was one of the hostages
which the said Gilbert found for his redemption and future fidelity to King
John {Ibid, p. 571). He was also living on May 19th, 1222, when the King
commanded Philip Mark to release the said Richard, whom he had long
detained in Nottingham Castle {Close Rolls, p. 497 b), Roger died before
January 14th, 1227, when Alexander, his son and heir released his right in 4
bovates in Kirkby Ireleth to Robert, abbot of Furness {Final Concords, p. 50) ;
and before Hilary Term, 9 Henry III., 1225, when the abbot of Furness was
demanding from Alexander the advowson of the church of Kirkby Ireleth {Curia
Regis Rolls^ 89, m. 8).

Avice, who was wife of Henry de Stretford, is of the gift
of the King and renders for her land xx^. yearly. And the
residue is worth \\]s.

It is probable that Henry de Stretford was identical with Henry de
Trafford, who died in 122 1. On November 3rd of that year, Richard, son of
Henry de Trafford, having fined 20J. for his relief of his father's land, had livery
of the same. The land which Avice had in dower was evidently the vill of old
Trafford (4 bov.) which was held by the service of 51. yearly. One third of
this was 20(/., which Avice rendered. The whole vill appears at this time to
have been worth 95. clear.

Avice, who was wife of Roger de Midelton, is of the
gift of the King. And she holds nothing of the King.

Roger de Middleton, lord of Middleton in Salford Hundred, and of Chet-
ham, died before 1226, which we consider to be the date of these entries.

Eujenia, who was wife of William de Routhclive, is of

the gift of the King and has been married. She renders

for the land which she holds xW.

The identification of this estate would have proved illusive but for the dis-
cofvery of an entry on a roll of the King's Court of the feast of St. Edward,
5 Heniy HI. (January 5th, 1 221), in which Eugenia, who was wife of William

K

130 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

de Radecliue, demands against Adam de RadecHae the third part of one canicate
of land in Radecliue, the third part of one canicate in Egewurth and the third
part of 4 bovates of land in Little Lethre (Lever), as her dower {Curia Regis
Rolby No. 78, m, 14 d). The position of the above entry among those relat-
ing to Salford Hundred aroused a natural suspicion against the assumption
that an estate in one of the three vills named Rawdiffe, in Amoundemess,
(formerly written Routhecliue), could be here referred to. It is evident then
that William de Radcliffe died before 1 221, and that Adam, his son and heir,
was in possession of his father's estates at the end of 122a Eugenia, the
widow, evidently had her dower in Edgeworth and its hamlets, which rendered
a service of lOf. yearly, that belonging to her third part being 3x. 4^/.

Eva de Halt is of the gift of the King, and she is to be
married. Her land is worth xijV.

It may reasonably be supposed that Eva was the widow of the tenant of the
hamlet of Alt, in the parish of Ashton-under-Lyne, of which Albin was tenant
in the time of King John {Pipe Rolls^ p. 330). Her land would represent one
third of the hamlet, which was rated at one bovate by the yearly service of 2x.
and was then worth 35. clear {Mamecestre, p. 349).

[LONSDALE Hundred.]

Matilda, daughter of Nicholas de Thoroldeholm, is of
the gift of the King. [He] held his land by service of
[being] larderer of the King. Roger, the clerk of [Derby]
has the wardship.

Alice, who was wife of that Nicholas, was of the gift of
the King.

Emma, who was wife of that Nicholas (su:)^ was of the
gift of the King.

John de Torrisholme who held this seijeanty in 1212 was living in 1215
{Pipe Rolls, p. 251). Between that date and 1221, he died and was succeeded
by Nicholas, his son and heir. Nicholas, son of John, died before November
3rd, 1 22 1, when Roger de Dereby fined by 20li. to have the wardship of the land
and marriage of the heir of the said Nicholas {Fine Roll Excerpts, I, p. 74).
Matilda, daughter and heir of Nicholas, married William de Paries, to whom
William, son of Ralph, released his right in the manor of Torrisholme in 1233
{Pinal Concords, p. 58). Of the two widows who are named as being of the
King's gift, one was probably widow of John de Torrisholme.

Sarra de Bothelton is of the gift of the King, and her

land is worth j. mark.

In I2I2 Sarra, or Sarah, or Serot, was wife of Gilbert de Bolton, who had
with her the fifth part of one moiety (?) of Bolton-le-Sands (p. 95).

was outlawed. His chattels were worth 561. {Pip^ Rolls^ pp. 93, 169). For
a number of years the master forester answered for the rent, but subsequent to
the date of this entry Henry de Whittington had become the tenant

[West Derby Hundred.]

Quenilda de Kirkdale holds j. carucate of land in
Fomeby by the service of conducting the treasury. And
the land is worth j. mark.

See p. 27.

Alice, who was wife of Richard, son of Robert, was of
the gift of the King and has been married. Her land is
worth xx^.

Richard, son of Robert de Lathom died about the end of 122c. On January
27th, 1 22 1, Richard, his son and heir, fined 100;. for his relief of 3 carucates
in Ladhum and had livery of his inheritance {Fine Roll Excerpts, I, p. 60). It
is possible that Alice married Simon de Grubhead, who obtained the manors
of Childwall, Roby and Anlezargh from Richard de Lathom by fine in 1223
{Final Concords, I, p. 44). Richard de Lathom died childless before October,
1232 {IbicL p. 76 If.).

Quenilda, who was wife of Richard son of Roger, was of
the gift of the King. Her land, that is one carucate of
land which she holds for iiijj. v\\]d, is worth j. mark.

This estate has already been noticed (p. 23). It was the fourth part of
Formby. This entry, like that on page 115, where Quenilda is described as
" formerly wife of Roger," is very puzzling. The one carucate in Formby held
by Quenilda de Kirkdale by serjeanty was quite another estate, but having
been given to Quenilda, daughter of Richard son of Roger, thane of Wood-
plnmpton, and to Jordan de Thornhill, her first husband, by William, son
of Norman, it descended to the heirs general of Richard, son of Roger, after
Qaenllda's death in 1252 (see hereafter). The question, however, is, are these
two entries corrupt, or was Quenilda married three times ? Her eldest sister
was married in or before i iSo, so that Quenilda may well have been married
once before she married Jordan de Thornhill. Further, there has never been
a satisfiictory explanation as to who *' Quenilda, lady of Warton," was, who
held some part of three knights' fees of the honour of Penwortham in 1201
{Fine JReUs, p. 167). She is named in numerous grants of land in Warton,

132 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

both to Cockersand Abbey and the priory of Lytham. In 1242-3, the fee in
Warton was held by Thomas de Beetham in right of his wife, who was
sister of Quenilda.

Probably the above entry should read — "Quenilda who was wife of Jordan
de Thomhill, and daughter of Richard son of Roger," &c

Robert Banastre holds the fee of one knight of the
King, and is in ward of the justiciar of Chester.

Cecilia, wife of Thurstan Banastre, was of the gift of the
King.

On July 1 6th, 1219, the King commanded the sheriff of Lancaster to put
Philip de Orreby, justiciar of Chester, in seisin of the lands of Thurstan
Banastre, and to take security for pajrment of a fine of 50 marks which the
justiciar had proffered for the wardship and marriage of Robert, son and heir
of Thurstan, or if he died of his brothers and sisters {Fine Roll Excerpts^ I, p,
35). On October 12th, 1223, the King commanded the sherifif to give Richard
de Monhaut and Cecily his wife seisin of the lands and chattels of the said
Cecily, who was wife of Thurstan Banastre, which had been seized because it
had been supposed that she had married herself to Richard without the King^s
assent, whereas she had married him at the King*s request and with his consent
(Close Rolls, p. 5653).

[Leyland Hundred.]

Robert de Cl[a]yton ought to keep ward of the wapen-
take of Lelandsire in fee. He holds no tenement of the
King.

Gerald de Clayton held the office of master-seijeant of Leylandshire with
that of Seneschal of Penwortham in 1212 (p. 33). He died between 1213-5,
and at Michaelmas, 121 5, Robert, his son and heir rendered account of 12}
marks and a palfrey which he had proffered for the bailiwick of the wapen-
take {Pipe Rolls, p. 252).

[Salford Hundred.]

Fourteen bovates of land in Haskesmores, which
William de Nevill held, are escheat of the King.

This moiety of Kaskenmoors has been under notice on p. 63. As here
stated it had escheated to the King by a default on the part of the heirs of
William de Nevill. The details of the service rendered for this fee show that
fourteen bovates was the correct ratable area of this moiety — ^viz., 14x9^
= iQf. 9idf., which was the total actual service together with half a judge.

Alward de Aldholm holds two bovates of land in Vernet

The estate here referred to was that moiety of the vill of Wemeth, in
Kaskenmoors which Ailward de Oldham held of the escheated fee of William
de Nevill, which Rayner de Wombwell held in 12 12 (p. 64). It is possible
that Ailward de Oldham and Ailward Tagun were one and the same person,
and that he was son of Ralph Tagun, who held Sholver in 121 2, and had been
enfeoffed in Werneth and Oldham by Ra3mer de Wombwell

for the health of their souls and the souls of John de Barton, her son, and her
daughter, wife of William de Notton, gave in alms to the monks of Stanlaw
all the land of Cadewallis-sete {now Cadishead), which Alexander held of her,
that is the moiety of Cadewallis-sete, for 25, yearly to be rendered to her for

bury, son and heir of Elias, being in the King's service in Lancaster Castle,
in company with Adam de Yealand, had livery of the wardship of the land

July 23rd, 12 1 8, the King sent his mandate to the sheriff of Lancaster to give
Adam de Pendlebury seisin in bailiwick of the serjeanty of Saufordsire, which
was his right and inheritance, whereof he had been disseised on account of the
war moved between King John and his English barons, and according to the
diarter of that King which he showed to the King and his council {Ibid, p. 366).
On October 27th, 1219, Adam had livery of his father's estate, who evidently
had been dead since before the barons' war of 1216 {Fine Roll Excerpts^ I, p. 38).

134 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

The warrant giving the serjeanty of the wapentake to Adam was afterwards
cancelled, and perhaps also the wardship of the vill of Little Bolton. On
January 26th, 1 221, in a precept to the sheriff to certify the barons of the
Exchequer as to the sum at which the vill of Little Bolton was charged in the
corpus comitaiust this vill is referred to as one " which King John our father
committed to Richard de Hulton " (Close RoUs^ p. 474 b).

[Blackburn Hundred.]

gift of the King. And Henry de Wykington has the ward-
ship from the King.

This was Richard de Catterall, whose father Richard, son of Swain, married
Ysolt, one of the three daughters and heirs of Robert son of Bernard de Gos-
nargh, with whom he received the manor of Catterall. He died before May
1 2th, 1223, on which day the King commanded the sheriff to take security for
a Bne of 20 marks which Henry de Whitington had proffered for wardship of
the land and heir of Richard, son of Swane, as well of the land which belonged
to him from his father, as from his mother Ysolda, with the marriage of the
heir, and thereupon to give him seisin of the same {Fine Roll Excerpis, I, p.
104). Richard, son of Swain, had lands in Carlton, in Amounderness. Henry

William de Karleton has the wardship of the son and
heir of Michael, his brother, from the King.

[19 Henry III., 1235.]
[Close Roll, 19 Henry III., m. 6 darso,'\

Writ. — The King to the sheriff of Lattcastre, greeting. Know ye that the
earls and barons and all others of our whole kingdom of England, of their own
spontaneous will and without being accustomed [so to do], have granted to us
an eifectul aid to expedite our great affairs, whereby it was provided by their
advice that there should be from each knight's fee held of us in chief and of
wardships, both of new feoffment and of old, two marks to make us the afore-
said aid, whereof they purpose to render to us one moiety at the feast of St.
Michael in the [19th] year (1235), and the other moiety at Easter in the 20th
year (1236), and that the said scutage shall be collected by the hands of their
bailiffs in each county and handed over by the hands of the same two knights,
whom we assigned to this in every county, to be conveyed to our Exchequer
of London and there delivered to our treasurer and chamberlains. We there-
fore command you at the mandate of all the earls, barons and all others holding
of us in chief in your bailiwick in manner aforesaid that without delay you
distrain all knights and free tenants holding of them by knight's service in your
bailiwick to render to their bailifis from every fee and wardship two marks to
make us the aforesaid aid at the said terms, and deliver to William de Carleton
and William de Clifton^ whom we have assigned for this purpose in your
county as is aforesaid. Making such distraint for this purpose at their mandate
that the aforesaid payment may not remain to be completed at the said terms
owing to your default, on which account we should seriously turn to you.
And transmit without delay our writs directed to certain persons of your baili-
wick to whom they are directed. Witness, &c, at Westminster, on the 17th
day of July, in the 19th year, &c. (1235).

[20 Henry HI., 1236.]

Writ. — Henry, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland,
Dake of Aquitaine and Normandy, Count of Anjou, to the sheriff of Lancastre
greeting. Because the fees of our barons, who have chief honours in your
county, are in divers counties from which they have granted to us an aid
to marry our sbter to the Roman Emperor, we have commanded them by
our letters which we send to you for presentation to them, that by their letters
patent they shall signify before the octave of St. John to the barons of our
exchequer at Westminster from how many of their fees, both of ancient and
new feoffment, each one pays the aforesaid aid to us and by whom, and in what
counties, and who hold those fees, and in what vills those fees are, that so we
may know whether the whole aid has been paid to us, as it has been liberally
granted to us. And as there are many others in your county who hold of us in
chief single fees or less to whom we write not, we command you as you are
bound in trust to us to signify distinctly and openly to our said barons of the
Exchequer the names of each of those who hold such fees of us in your county,
and in what vills those fees are, by your letters patent before the aforesaid term,
and likewise the names of all those who hold of us by seijeanty or socage, and
where and in what vills the said serjeanties and socages may be, and what

144 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC.

those serjeanties may be, accomplishing all the premisses so carefully and dili-
gently that we need not turn to you on account of your negligence. V^tness
myselt at Westminster, the 6th day of May, in the 20th year of our reign
[♦1236].

The Return. — Simon de Thorneton, sheriff of Lancas-
tre, liege and faithful, to his venerable and dearly beloved
lords, Hugh de Pateshul, treasurer of the lord King, and
other barons of the lord King's Exchequer, sendeth greeting.
Know ye of a truth that the letters of the lord King respect-
ing new feoffment and old came to Lancastre on the eve of
the translation of St. Thomas the martyr [July 6th, 1236],
whereupon, having straightway seen those letters, I sent a
transcript to the keeper of the honour of Lancastre, who
keeps ward of the honour of Lancastre throughout divers
counties of England. Nevertheless, in his absence, I signify
to you, in so far as I am able, the certificate {certitude) of
the fees, but how much of the aid of the lord King should
be paid at the Exchequer I am not able to know in so
short a time ; but that you may fully know, if it please you,
I certify to you the particulars of the fees : —

Sir John de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, holds xij. knights'
fees of ancient feoffment in Clyderhou, Penwrtham, and
Wydnis, within the county.

Sir William de Lancastre holds one knight's fee with the
appurtenances in Warton and Gayrestan likewise of ancient
feoffment.

The heirs of Sir Richard fitz Roger f hold the 4th part
of one fee in Kelgrimisarhe and Birstatbrunning of ancient
feoffment.

Adam de Mulyneus holds half a fee in Ceffton of
ancient feoffment within the county.

Penilton by the gift of King John within the county.

Adam de Midelton holds the 14th part of one knight's
fee in Midelton within the county.

Adam de Merton holds the 4th part and the 20th part

Also know ye that the ancestors of Roger Gemet were
enfeoffed of one fee in Halton within the county for which
the said Roger does no service to the King, but says
that he holds that fee by reason of keeping ward of the
forest of the King.

Sir Roger de Montbegon enfeoffed John de la Mare of
one fee in Croston within the county .f

The Inquest of the Scutage of Gascony.

Writ. — Henry by the grace of God, King of England, &c., to the
sherifT of Lancastre sendeth greeting. We have been given to understand that
there are very many in your county holding by military service both of us, and
of others who hold of us in chief, who deny the payment of scutages of their
fees and say that they do not hold by military service either of us or of others
who hold of us in rhief. And because scutages have been granted to us by the
common council of our Kingdom both from [fees of] new feoffment and ancient,
we command you to cause diligent inquiry to be made in your county both
within the liberty and without by the oath of xij. true and liege men both
knights and others by whom the truth of the matter may be better known ; and
who such persons are, that we may be able to turn to them if they in any wise
make default as to what fees they hold of us, or of others who hold of us in
chief, both of new feoffment and of old ; and to distrain those who hold those
fees to render to us the scutages of their fees, so that you may have those
scutages upon your next account at our Exchequer and the inquest and this
writ. Witnessed by Alexander [de Swerford], treasurer of St Paul's, London,
at Westminster oif the ninth day of December, in the 27th year of our reign
[1242].$

Far certain men of c<mnty Lancaster, — The King to his barons of the
Exchequer, greeting. Know ye that for the expense and for the delay which
the men holding our serjeanties, which have been alienated in the counties of
Notts., Derby, York, Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmeriland and
Lancaster, have suffered in London {trtixerunt LoncT) for the same serjeanties,
we have pardoned the same men a moiety of the extent together with a moiety
of the sown lands of the same from the time when the said serjeanties were
taken into our hand unto the feast of St. Michael in the 30th year (1246).
Wherefore we command you to cause these men to be quit of the said moiety
during that time. Witness the King at Reading, November 3rd (1246, Fine
Roll, 31 Henry II L, pj. I, m, 13).

On February 24th, 31st year, 1247, the King committed all his demesne

1/8 LANCASHIRE INQUESTS, EXTENTS, ETC

These proceedings arose by reason of the great number of alienations of
land held of the King by serjeanty, which had been made for a long period
past without the King's licence. The King ordered all such alienated lands
to be seized, and a few years after the proceedings recorded in the above writs
caused Robert Passelewe to arrent or assess full rents upon these lands, thence-
forth to be paid to the King, and not to the representatives of those who had made
the alienations, who had thereby forfeited their title to these alienated lands.

* Henry de Lacy, son of Edmund de Lacy (see note, p. 148), by Alicia,
first daughter of Manfred III., Marquis of Saluzzo, in Italy, was bom on
Christmas day, 1249. His father obtained the King's consent to marry him to

of Salisbury, by writ dated February 9th, 1257, and gave the King 10 marks

Margaret, second and surviving wife of John de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, to
whom they had been assigned in 1242, as by reference to the writs on page

lands which Theobald held of us in chief, being our escheat, and afterwards
conferred the said manor upon Master William, Saucer {Salsarius)* of our
welbeloved Queen, to hold for his life, now the said William de Sengelton
claims the said manor as his right and inheritance, from which Theobald
wrongfully and without right disseised the said Richard his grandfather,
whose heir he is : we therefore, having made a full inquiry into the truth of
this, have received from the said William 3 marks of gold, and have rendered to
him the said manor, and because by summons of our Exchequer, you are
distraining the said William to pay tallage to us for the said manor, to which
he asserts that he is not liable, we command you, by the oath of true and liege
men of your county, to make diligent inquiry whether the said manor was ever
accustomed to be tallaged to our use save at the time when it was held in our

the said heirs, in accordance with the partition recently made in our Court

Mamecestre, Barton, and Kyuerdelegh by writ, dated May 20th following. A
previous writ for livery had been superseded because of the right which Peter
Greleye claimed to have in them before the King, and the King after treating
thereof with his council, taking into consideration that Edmund, the King's
brother, had the custody of the said manors during the minority of the heir by
the late King's commission, and that Edmund granted the custody of them to
Walter de Percy, who delivered the custody to the aforesaid Peter, until the
heir came of age, and that Peter had the custody of the manors by this com-
mission and for no other reason, has rendered seisin of the manors to Robert,
saving the right of Peter if he wished to prosecute it {Ibid, p. 173).

The jurors say upon their oath that the lord Richard,
sometime King of England, great-grandfather of King
Edward who now is, rightly possessed the said manor of
Prestaton with the aforesaid four cantreds by right of his
conquest. And the lord King Henry of famous memory,
father of the said King Edward, to whose hands the said
manor afterwards came, at the time when he gave the
aforesaid four cantreds together with the whole county of
Chester to the lord Edward, the king aforesaid, gave and
granted it to the same Edward. Of the true right of the
aforesaid Robert, if he have any in the said manor, they
thus declare {inquiunt) — that the said King Richard, after
the time of the aforenamed conquest, gave the said manor
with its appurtenances to a certain Robert Banastre, grand-
father of the said Robert, whose heir he is, to him and his
heirs for their service to hold entirely in fee and inheritance,
after the time of which conferment the same Robert, the
grandfather, peacefully held and quietly enjoyed that manor

* By writ dated July 9th, 1274, the sheriff was ordered to give Adam
de Knol seisin of this land and messuage in C hippy n (Gz/. of Close RoUs^

The method of arriving at this total is quite unintelligible. It is improbable
that the 184 fees would be reckoned at £40 each, or that the advowsons of
the churches of Preston and St. Michael's on Wyrc would be included in the
total. On the other hand, the extent of the hundred of Salford is not attached
to the file of documents, and appears, therefore, to have been lost Nor is
there any extent of Leyland hundred, where, however, the comital rents and
perquisites were of trifling value.

Perhaps the extent of the hundred of Salford may be recovered from the
following document, preser\'ed in Harl. MSS., No. 2085, f. 528 b, where seve-

Heport for tbe ^m 19QM905.

Head at the Annual Meetimj held in tJis Awlit Room of tlie-
Chetluim Hospital, Manchester ^ October 19th, 1903,

Singe the last Annual Meeting, held on the 81st October, 1902,
one volume has been issued to the Members. This is Volume 46,
being Part II. of Lancashire Final Concords for the years 1808 to
1877, which has been edited, as was Part I., by Mr. William Farrer.
The Council view with much satisfaction the continuation of this
valuable series of documents, and have to thank Mr. Farrer for the
further promise of a third volume, covering the important period
of 1877 to 1509, which it is hoped will be printed in the near
future.

The second volume for the year 1902-1908, is the volume of
Early Lancashire Assize Rolls, edited by Colonel Parker. Un-
fortunately the issue of it has been delayed unavoidably, but nearly
the whole of it is now in type, and the Council hope to be able
to publish it shortly.

For the current year the Council are glad to be able to promise
a volume of great interest to students of early Lancashire family
history and land tenure, viz., a translation from the original
documents, with copious notes, by Mr. William Farrer, of a
number of the earliest Inquests, Feudal Aids, Inquests Post Mortem
and Ad Quod Damnum, from the reign of King John to the

iv Report of the Society,

end of the reign of Edward I. Of these documents the most
important is the reprint of the great Inquest of Service made
in 1212, commonly known as the Testa de Nevil. The offieial
transcript of these returns, published a hundred years ago by
the Record Clommissioners, was taken from a manuscript
copy made about the end of the reign of Edward XL, containing
many serious errors. The original returns for Lancashire having
fortunately been preserved, Mr. Farrer has worked upon these, so
that the text shortly to be issued will, the Council feel sure, prove
of the greatest interest to the members of the Society.

As to future work, the Bolls of Chester Freemen are now
practically ready for the press, whilst the greater portion of the
transcript of the Heralds* Visitation of Cheshire for 1618 is in the
editor's hands. With reference to the Marriage Licences at Chester,
the Council are glad to be able to announce that the difficulties
with regard to the publication of these have been overcome, and
that the work of transcription will be shortly begun. The Council
have also in view a Miscellaneous Volume, to contain a final
instalment of the Index to the Wills at the Diocesan Registry, 1701-
1800, and an Index of a number of recently discovered wills, from
the Probate Registry covering the period 1595-1665. It is hoped
also that it will be possible to include the Cheshire Hearth Tax
Returns for 1663. Negotiations as to the printing of the Preston
Guild Rolls, 1682-1902, are also in progress.
